Hooker Clément Maynadier did not start on the Union Bordeaux-Bègles side for the clash of the 19th day of Top 14 against Stade Toulousain on Sunday. This did not prevent this 35-year club history from motivating his partners with an impressive pre-match speech.
“If you’re here in this circle, then you all have f***ing superpowers! says Maynadier to his teammates, gathered in a circle on the pitch during the warm-up. And today we have to put it on for the group! For the friend next door! Because that’s what Bègles is! We play for each other. Only 30 minutes left! We’re going to make it hot for you!”
Trained in Albi, Clément Maynadier has been playing at UBB since 2013, with whom he has played more than 200 matches. He also has 8 capes with the XV of France.
