RC Vannes 🏉 manager Jean-Noël Spitzer claims that the top end of Pro D2 is superior to the URC.
#ProD2 Probably the best league in the world 😉

Not even enough room to fit seats in; this is what the new capacity looks like 😱
The standing enclosure goes along the south stand and into the corner with the main stand.
Cram 'em in I say!

A splendid summary of what there is to look forward to this season in #ProD2. Where in the world is there a more enthralling 🏉 championship.

Tonight's 🏉 friendly in Guingamp between RC Vannes and Stade Toulousain is a sell out.

RC Vannes had a lot of defending to do this year as they finished bottom of #Top14.
Sione Kalamafoni headed the list of top tacklers in the league.

The regular #Top14 season is over and Vannes will be returning to #ProD2.
When you have the smallest budget in the league you probably have the weakest squad so your key players have to stay on the pitch longer. Captain Gorrissen tops the table for minutes played in Top14 with fly half Lafage third.

As Midol suggests, Vannes' first #Top14 season should be considered a success even if the sporting outcome is relegation.
The club emerged from the ranks of amateur rugby only nine years ago and has been continuously building since. Further progress will see them better armed the next time round.

XV Corsaire Saint-Malo are promoted to Fédérale 1, the fifth tier of rugby in France.
With Rennes having already been crowned champions of Nationale 2 this marks a good year for amateur rugby in Brittany.

Looking forward to an epic contest at La Rabine.
Vannes without captain Gorrissen, Rayasi and Saili but first choice Ruru is fit again and on the bench.
