Pour les fans de l’UBB qui ont eu la chance d’assister dimanche au quart de finale de Champions Cup de légende entre leur équipe et le Stade toulousain (30-15), la fête a été totale. Pendant la rencontre, bien-sûr, avec la qualification au terme d’un match incroyable d’intensité. Mais même un peu avant.

Le coup d’envoi a en effet été donné après une belle surprise offerte aux spectateurs de Chaban-Delmas. Dans un clip diffusé dans les écrans géants du stade, le demi de mêlée et capitaine Maxime Lucu a annoncé sa prolongation de contrat de deux saisons, jusqu’en 2029. Une excellente nouvelle pour les fans girondins, conquis par celui qui a su gagner leur coeur au fil de ses performances et de sa générosité depuis 2019 et son arrivée au club en provenance de Biarritz.

S’il n’a pas marqué d’essai dimanche pour célébrer ça, il en a été tout proche, a aussi inscrit une pénalité très importante en seconde période de 50 mètres qui a mis les Toulousains à 7 points derrière et n’a pas donné sa part au chien dans le combat, n’hésitant pas à mettre la tête dans les rucks. Le genre d’attitude qui a fait de lui le chouchou de Chaban.

En sept saisons à l’UBB, le demi de mêlée international français a disputé 160 matchs, a participé à deux finales de Top 14 et a remporté la Champions Cup en 2025.

Excellent news. Serin also signed a new contract at Toulon this season so the 3 top French scrum halves are staying where they are.

Jake White renews calls for Springboks to be forced to play from home

Absolutely agree H. Some of our best coaches are overseas getting paid decent wages. Johan van Graan and Franco Smith the two most high profile but there are others Shaun Sowerby and Hein Adams both at Bordeaux. It can only be money. I don’t think the current top four coaches are up to the same standard as some of the South Africans coaching overseas. My experience in coaching is that there are three year natural cycles, Year one - re-alignment. Bringing in the new ideas anc coaching prioroties. Very often the first season is punctuated by losses trying to adapt form the old to the new ways. Year two the team gels around the new ways and beginning to achieve near their potential. Year three the peak of the new methods. But this is the year when inevitable the form of good players begins to attract offers from greener pastures and key players leave with the inevitable decline in results. It happened to me when I coached Kloof Senior Primary when we beat some very established teams like Cordwalles Highbury and WP Prep, Hugh Reece Edwards was rugby director at Westville and four of my key players left for bursaries there with the inevitable fall in results. It happened again when I was manager of the Hillcrest Villagers - after gaining entry to the premier competition when we beat teams like Harlequins complete with Vleis Visagie and Robert du Preez - low and behold that HR Edwards then became coach of Crusaders and would you believe it - four of our key players went there at the end of the season together with three or four others who retired, and of course we were relegated.

So - the fact that Rassie has managed to hang on players and develop others to fill the inevitable gaps and the fact that he has a wide spread of ideas besides his own I think is key to the continued - and long may it continue - success of the Boks. Our retreads are useful to fill gaps until others develop and also to act as player/mentor/coach such as Os du Rand and Frans Steyn so the mix is good but you can’t rely solely on those players like The Sharks do. I think mostly the others are getting there. Hope so.
