Yannick Bru emphasizes the importance of the Champions Cup for Bordeaux-Bègles ahead of the semi-final against Bath. The team has built a unique relationship with this competition, which they won last year, and has "educated" their fans about this high-level event.
Bru explains that this experience plays a crucial role in the team's dynamic, even in the Top 14, where the memories of Champions Cup victories bring a layer of joy to the club and supporters. Despite the recent loss to Montpellier (21-23), he believes the impact is limited thanks to the magic of the Champions Cup.
The suspension of Jefferson Poirot, prop and vice-captain, is a significant loss for the team. Bru considers this sanction harsh and complicates preparations for a potential final.
Boris Palu, lock, discusses his knowledge of Bath's fly-half, Finn Russell, with whom he played at Racing 92. He highlights that Russell can shine, but he is vulnerable under pressure. Bordeaux-Bègles is therefore preparing to attack him to prevent him from expressing himself fully.
