So both my teams have now secured a play-off spot: ⚽ Bradford City will play Bolton home and away for the right to go to Wembley where the winner will be promoted to the Championship 🏉 RC Vannes wait to know who they will meet at home, the winner going on to Toulouse to play for a Top 14 place

Le Figaro's take on RC Vannes this season #ProD2 www.lefigaro.fr/sports/rugby...

Red sky at night Vannetais delight. Vannes 71-0 Beziers

A rare occasion at the Rabine tonight as a father and son are on the RC Vannes team sheet. Both props and the Tafili family was there to greet them. #ProD2

Christmas is coming ... 📍Vannes

I can understand his excitement; the perspective of playing Australia and the All Blacks in the World Cup when he is currently not a first choice selection for Vannes in #ProD2.

They are gearing up for the big RCV-FCG #ProD2 match in Rennes on 16 Nov. 20 000 flags, fan zone, Happy Hour, increased bar capacity, galette-saucisse; what's not to like. It will lack the charm of a match in Vannes but I am now looking forward to being there. www.ouest-france.fr/sport/rugby/...

After an eventful season in #Top14 it'll be back to #ProD2 for RC Vannes 🏉 www.rugbyrama.fr/2025/06/10/t...

RC Vannes had a lot of defending to do this year as they finished bottom of #Top14. Sione Kalamafoni headed the list of top tacklers in the league.

The regular #Top14 season is over and Vannes will be returning to #ProD2. When you have the smallest budget in the league you probably have the weakest squad so your key players have to stay on the pitch longer. Captain Gorrissen tops the table for minutes played in Top14 with fly half Lafage third.

As Midol suggests, Vannes' first #Top14 season should be considered a success even if the sporting outcome is relegation. The club emerged from the ranks of amateur rugby only nine years ago and has been continuously building since. Further progress will see them better armed the next time round.

XV Corsaire Saint-Malo are promoted to Fédérale 1, the fifth tier of rugby in France. With Rennes having already been crowned champions of Nationale 2 this marks a good year for amateur rugby in Brittany.
