Arthur Retière is doing better. On Sunday against Northampton, UBB’s utility back went off, dazed after a legal hit from Henry Pollock. Sud-Ouest reported on Wednesday that he will be out for two weeks and that he will return to face Montauban in the Top 14 on 31 January.

Good news for Retière but bad news for UBB, who, at scrum-half, have to do without Valentin Hutteau, Maxime Lucu and now Arthur Retière. Martin Page-Relo is the last number 9 still fit.
