This Sunday evening, UBB won 31-28 against Toulouse on the lawn of Matmut Atlantique. An exceptional match, during which Pierre Bochaton and Pablo Uberti shone. Emmanuel Meafou, for his part, almost turned everything upside down.
The tops
Just like Uberti (quoted below), it’s not the first name we cite when we think of UBB’s four-star squad. Pierre Bochaton broke the screen on the lawn of Matmut Atlantique. Offensively, the former Bourg-en-Bresse player let Tevita Tatafu shine. It was defensively that he was able to do well. Author of 9 tackles in the first half (he finished with 17) Bochaton was essential for his team. He also recovered a ground penalty early in the game.
It was he who scored the winning try a few minutes before the final whistle, before annihilating one of Toulouse’s last offensives in the 75th minute. Bochaton is the hero of the evening on the UBB side.
And to think that he was not included in the UBB starting lineup for this match… It’s simple, Pablo Uberti didn’t wait long to show up. From the fifth minute, it was he who scored an important ball in the Toulouse 22 meters, and who suddenly initiated the action of the first Girondin try, signed Moefana. Well served on his left wing, Uberti was able to show himself in attack, without forgetting to defend. At the half-hour mark, the garnet winger made a saving tackle on Alexandre Roumat, who was trying.

This is what we call opportunism. Deprived of ammunition in the first period, Matthis Lebel waited his time, quietly. At the hour mark, the Haut-Garonne winger was magnificently served by Antoine Dupont. He then won his duel to score his first try of the match. A first banderilla, followed by a second a few seconds later. After a low kick from Costes, Lebel managed to dribble past Buros to push the ball to the promised land. A double full of talent.
Rugby is much easier with Emmanuel Meafou. Entering in the 45th minute of play, the red and black colossus almost turned everything upside down. Just before the second Stade try by Ahki, he put the Gironde defense on the back foot. On all his percussions, the French international advanced. We’re used to it, but it’s so strong.

Les flops
Exceptional two weeks ago against Perpignan, the Spanish international had a complicated evening on the pitch at Matmut Atlantique. The right pillar of Toulouse made some big hits, but it was mainly his two penalties received in the scrum sector that darkened the picture. He was replaced in the 45th minute by Dorian Aldegheri.

It wasn’t really a match for the pillars this Sunday evening. Used to crushing everything with a ball in hand, “Big Ben” was rather discreet. Only 3 tackles and six carries for Tameifuna. Not very prominent offensively, he was sanctioned twice.
