Pointing to third place in the ranking at mid-season, VRDR intends to continue at the same pace in order to participate in the final phases.
It’s definitely a nice surprise at the start of the season. Ready from the start of the championship, the flagship team of Valence Romans Drôme Rugby announced its colors from the first matches of the season to settle at the top of the ranking.
After a first victory against Dax at home, the Drômois won at Provence Rugby, thus confirming their desire to do well in this championship.
After a first defeat in Brive, Fabien Fortassin’s men inflicted a “fanny” on Soyaux-Angoulême, confirming their good start to the season.
After the defeat conceded to Oyonnax, the Drômois resumed their march forward with three consecutive victories. If they lost at the leader Vannes, they then signed five victories in a row to complete the first phase in third place in the group, tied on points with Colomiers.
Maintain the same pace
After a break for the confectioners’ truce, the Damiers will return this Friday, January 9 at 7:30 p.m., with the reception of Béziers at the Pompidou stadium in Valence.
If they are expecting a hard-fought match, the Drômois intend to continue their momentum and confirm their place at the top of the D2 pro championship rankings.
If at the time of writing this article, we do not know the team that will be aligned, there is no doubt that Fabien Fortassin will be able to put in place a high-performance team to continue the same dynamic.
