División de Honor 2020/21 - Round 12 Results & Standings

TOP 6


Universidad de Burgos - Bajo Cero 33 - 24 SilverStorm El Salvador
Ampo Ordizia RE 21- 15 VRAC Quesos Entrepinares
Barça Rugbi v Lexus Alcobendas Rugby POSTPONED

Defeats of the two teams from Valladolid on the first day of the second phase, which in the Top 6 is very even. All the matches with very tight scores since the differences are minimal. The match between Barça and Alcobendas was postponed due to several Covid case in the visitors. It could affect the training camp list of the National Team for the match vs Georgia.

BOTTOM 6

UE Santboiana 26 - 32 Complutense Cisneros
Getxo RT 29 - 30 Mazabi Santander Independiente RC
CP Les Abelles 10 - 17 Ciencias Universidad Pablo de Olavide

Important and, to a certain point, surprising away victories for Independiente Santander and Ciencias Sevilla, who made a four-way fight to avoid relegation, involving Les Abelles and Getxo, who were in a better position after the first phase of the championship. Cisneros wins Santboiana again and gains advantage for a better playoff spot (7th and 8th will join the Top 6)

The 32 players squad list for the match vs Georgia on Sunday, 12:45 CET (GMT+1) , was revelead yesterday.

Some important absences due to injuries or not released by French clubs. Especially important Guillaume Rouet (SH) and Manuel Ordás (FH) from Bayonne and Gautier Gibouin, the vice-captain from Soyaux-Angoulême in ProD2. Some veterans return to the team as Kalokalo Gavidi and Brad Linklater. 3 uncapped players, Alejandro Alonso and Pablo Ortiz, with an excellent performance in the 1st phase of the national championship, and Brice Ferrer from Dax.

Strong squad but probably not enough to beat Georgia. It will be a tight match anyway.

Extended 32 squad list for the match vs Romania. The strongest squad in years, only some injuries, specially in the wing. Very important additions from previous week as the couple from Bayonne, Rouet and Ordás, and experienced ProD2 players as Gibouin and Perrin.

División de Honor 2020/21 - Postponed match from Round 12

This Sunday in La Teixonera the match postponed due to several COVID cases in Alcobendas from last Round. Some important absences in both teams for the presence in the national team, Güemes and Jorba in Barça, Foulds and Stewart in Alcobendas. Anyway interesting match in the Top 6, visitors are favourites in my view but we'll see how they evolve after 10 days of isolation and without training.

Sunday 13:30 CET (GMT+1) - Barça Rugbi (6) v Lexus Alcobendas Rugby (2)

 
División de Honor 2020/21 - Postponed matches

Barça Rugbi 30 (B) - 32 Lexus Alcobendas Rugby

Important win for Alcobendas to continue seeking first postition in the table. Barça gained defensive bouns with a last minute try.

Next round this weekend, with some absences in the top teams as national team plays vs Portugal on Saturday. I guess most of matches on Sunday. Details will be share further for those interested.
 
31 men list for the match vs Portugal. Only a change with last week's list, Víctor Sánchez returns to replace Fred Quercy, absent with a red card in the Bucharest match. It is expected several weeks of suspension. Still a strong squad, probably the best we could fill considering injuries.
