Union Bordeaux-Bègles travels to South Africa for its final Champions Cup group match, this Saturday (2 p.m.), to face the Pretoria Bulls. UBB manager Yannick Bru announced that scrum-half Maxime Lucu and center Yoram Moefana were exempt and rested.
“They have given a lot to the team in recent weeks. They put the collective before their little personal concerns. We owe them a week's vacation, at least morally. They will be resting to prepare for their Six Nations Tournament in the best conditions,” said the former assistant coach of the French XV.
