Already coming last year with Marc Dantin and the Stade Toulousain Crabos, Mathis Castro-Ferreira was back with the Stade Espoirs this time, for a training weekend, on a Bouscarret lawn which seen hatching: “Coming home, it allows you to get some fresh air and think about something else. It’s nice to see the friends again, the educators I had as a child, and the family”, explained the third line stadiste .
At his side in this “red and black” group which is preparing its quarter-final against RC Toulon as well as possible, Clément Sentubéry, road captain of the Espoirs du Stade Toulousain, also delighted with this internship in Bigorre: “Beyond to leave Toulouse, it’s with us and it’s nice to see faces that we know”, admitted the Pouyastrucais.
“Be ambitious and touch a piece of wood”
After a warm-up, then a rehearsal of the game systems, the young people of Toulouse, under the eyes of the many spectators present on Saturday morning, proposed beautiful movements for the time of a solid “opposition” setting.
“We are lucky to have a little time to prepare for this quarter-final against the RCT. We chose to do this little camp, which is not a cohesion camp, but a camp to do rehearsals with a deadline next week. It’s the perfect place, already to cut with the daily life of the Stadium, and discover other clubs, other environments”, underlined David Mélé, coach of Espoirs, focus, like the rest staff and players towards this quarter-final.
And to add immediately: “We spent ten months preparing for this kind of match, and we will have to be ready because we don’t want to end the season now. We want to go as far as possible, to ‘be ambitious and touch a piece of wood’.
At the end of the session, accompanied by two of their teammates, Mathis and Clément joined the SOMR rugby school, on the adjacent Bouscarret field, to share a few minutes with the kids during workshops. And to give back to the “children of Bouscarret” what rugby has brought them so far.
