Rugby: A Périgord European champion with the UBB
This Saturday, Union Bordeaux-Bègles became European champions, joining the very select group of French teams already crowned champions (Toulouse, La Rochelle, Toulon, and Brive). Among the Girondins is Jefferson Poirot, originally from Lalinde.
The image is beautiful, that of Jefferson Poirot, pillar of Union Bordeaux-Bègles, lifting the European Championship trophy with his teammates. This Saturday in Cardiff, against Northampton, UBB won the Champions Cup (28-20) and Poirot was in the front line. A starter, the player trained in Lalinde, Dordogne, then gave up his place in the 60th minute.
