Union Bordeaux-Bègles recruitment and staffing

Overview

Union Bordeaux-Bègles (UBB) has initiated several recruitment efforts to strengthen its roster and technical staff.

The club reportedly targeted English international tighthead prop Beno Obano to bolster its front row for the 2027/2028 season, as current players Jefferson Poirot and Matis Perchaud face contract expirations in June 2027. Obano, a veteran of Bath Rugby, recently visited the club’s facilities.

Additionally, UBB has expanded its technical capabilities by hiring Victor Azalbert, a data scientist formerly with the San Antonio Spurs. Azalbert is tasked with utilizing data analysis for workload management and optimizing player performance, specifically regarding the conditioning of large-framed athletes.
