The L'Equipe channel regularly broadcasts the championship of Fédérale 1, the third rugby division, live or delayed. Thus, the Hautes-Pyrénées derby between Tarbes and Lannemezan, disputed on Saturday evening, should have been offered on Monday February 24 at 9:05 pm. But the exiled Bigourdans will not be able to discover the images of the locals' very agitated victory (36-3 ).
"We have chosen to reschedule the meeting," says L'Equipe's communications department, contacted by 20 Minutes . The “Top Gear” motorsport program will be offered instead.
Apologies from clubs
It must be said that this match was not really an advertisement for rugby, with a general fight from the start, and seven red cards in total. One coach from each team was kicked out. The presidents of the two clubs held a joint press conference on Tuesday evening in Tarbes to apologize for the "spectacle" proposed at the Maurice-Trélut stadium.
If they escape the dissemination of inglorious images, the protagonists will not cut to the decisions of the disciplinary committee to come.
