In this Saturday's matchup between Bayonne and Biarritz is a local derby in the Basque country featuring two clubs that have been around for many decades. Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque was founded in 1913, and many fans will recognize the club as where former USA wing Taku Ngwenya played for many years.
Longtime Argentina star Gonzalo Quesada is one of the top Biarritz players.
Aviron Bayonnais was founded in 1904, nine years before Biarritz, and includes players from 12 different nations, including Argentina and Chile. Bayonne is coached by former France great Pierre Berbizier.
These two clubs are less than 4 miles from each other, so this is truly a local rivalry, albeit one followed by fans all over the world.
