“In living memory, a boar has never suffered a hiding like this.”
As the Liffré club put it on social media, Nantes handed a sound thrashing to the 12-time winners of the competition (final score (6-22) 40-9 (1-6)).
Confirming steady progress in recent seasons (French championship final in 2019, winners of the Super 9 last autumn), the “bees” win their first Brittany championship after a season finished in the top 2 places in the table, which mean a final.
A week after the B team’s victory in D2, the “bees” have completed a magnificent double. There is no doubt they will be among the favourites to win the national title.
