No Top 14 this weekend with the international break of the 6 Nations Tournament, so rugby fans in Auvergne gathered along the sidelines in Vichy, Saint-Cernin, Brioude, and Issoire, where Sport d’Ici takes you this morning to discover the joys of amateur rugby.
The sun was shining, and nearly 1000 people were gathered in the stands or along the sidelines of the Lavédrine stadium in Issoire. A Sunday afternoon where rugby had its place for fans, as well as families or friends of players, who would not miss this gathering for anything.
Two matches on the schedule, between the youth team and “the first team” as it is commonly known, with flavorful exchanges to comment on actions that were not always perfect technically, but always full of commitment and desire.
And in the end, no matter the manner or the score as long as the thrill of victory is present, everyone came to seek their dose of passion and pleasure, before replaying the match over a glass of friendship. This authentic atmosphere of rugby in our regions, Sport d’Ici invites you to experience it before perhaps discussing yesterday’s match over a cup of coffee.
