The Aviron Bayonnais reserve team will host Stade Bordelais in order to secure a chance to reach the podium at the end of the season. It would be a great success for the newcomers under Maxime Cazenave.
Regional 2: The four teams in the sector are either playing to avoid relegation or to gain promotion. In pool E, Croisés de Bayonne will face Porte-Entre-Deux-Mers and must win while hoping for a misstep from leader La Brède, who is just one point ahead of Marc Le Moël’s men. Further down, the Anglet Genêts’ reserve team will travel to Pessac. A victory would allow Sebastien Camiade’s players to maintain their position with just two matchdays left.
In pool F, Saint-Pierre-d’Irube are one point behind Stade Montois and two behind Lescar, with only two matches left to play compared to their rivals’ three for promotion to R1. Xavier Lagouanelle’s players will face Agen. A crucial victory is needed before hoping for stumbles from the two leaders. Lower in the standings, Tarnos have gained some breathing space before their tough consecutive away games against leaders Lescar and Stade Montois.
Regional 3: Boucau have a lifeline at the top of pool J. Yoan Lamothe’s players will visit a chasing team, Ygos, who could narrow the gap to five points with Boucau, or even two points considering Elan’s season-ending penalty. Lower down, Saint-Pierre-d’Irube’s reserve team will fight for survival against Cenon B, who are also at risk. Just one point separates the two teams.
