Monday evening, the president of the FFR candidate for re-election held a last meeting in Bordeaux.
Where he displayed unwavering confidence.
Five days before the elections, Bernard Laporte assures us that he has no doubts about his re-election.
"I'm more than confident, I'm sure we'll win."
A statement made a few hours before L'Equipe published a final poll in which he found himself in a ballot… unfavorable against his opponent Florian Grill.
According to the survey carried out by the sports daily with around 15% of amateur clubs called upon to vote (266 clubs contacted out of 1781), Florian Grill indeed appears for the first time in favorable waivers with 41% of the votes against 38% for The door.
But with 21% undecided, the ballot, which will start Friday at 8 am and end Saturday noon, promises to be tight until the end.

We will never have gone so far to try to discourage me

A publication that triggered the fury of Bernard Laporte via a long post on his Facebook account.
“I said it at the start of my campaign, I am not the candidate of the Parisian media, universities and major magnates (
sic, Editor's note
) who dare to talk about Amateur Rugby when they have never trod the slightest of your lawns.
This has been well demonstrated.
The low blows, the absurd polemics, the hazardous schedules, the procedures, the pressures of all kinds ... we will never have gone so far to try to discourage me ”, attacks the president of the FFR, before attacking more precisely to
L'Equipe
, accusing him of having manipulated the results.

“Until a poll of a sports newspaper transformed into Attorney General in the pay of an opposition which constantly denounces but never proposes, carrying out an opinion poll with a dubious method.
Do you think!
They had noted a positive result for my re-election.
It was too much.
So did he have to find a way to call back all those consulted to ask them last week, if really, really, they were sure they wanted to elect me against the advice of all those who never lifted the slightest finger to support an amateur club.
It is no longer an adversity: it is a tartufferie that no one will be fooled by. ”
"
The questioning of the probity of our newspaper is deeply moved

The Team
quickly defended itself from this unfounded attack.
“The president of the FFR insinuated that we could have modified our results to disguise a reality that was supposedly favorable to him.
False!
The questioning of the probity of our newspaper is deeply misplaced. ”
It is time for the campaign to end - this Tuesday evening at 11.59pm - as it takes a polemical and nauseating turn.
"The president of the FFR insinuated that we could have modified our results to disguise a reality which is supposedly favorable to him. False! The questioning of the probity of our newspaper is deeply moved."
