Winner in Montpellier on Sunday, the CO got out of the quicksand of the bottom of the table. He may even begin to ogle upwards where the cadors trade blows. The Castres will know during the next two games, if they have the means to be among the guests in the top 6 at the end of the season.
The joy, not to say the euphoria of a saving victory is conducive to creativity in terms of vocabulary. “It’s a big satisfaction, but not of fire,” confessed Sunday David Darricarrère, hot at the microphone of the TV. This is well worth a little “chambrade” that the coach of the three-quarters of the CO will gladly accept, especially since the new expression is perfectly explicit in the context where his club is located. The coach continued: “The road continues, but it is still long.”
Comfortable when traveling
It is certain that in 2021, by taking four points in Lyon, five against Agen, then four in Montpellier, Castres Olympique removed a good part of the stones that he had collected on his lawn and slipped in his crampons. in 2020. The 13 points are added to the 10 gleaned in Agen, Toulouse, and Pau.
Of the 29 points that place him six lengths from the top 6, the CO has collected 18 away. He confirms that he is part of the current trend of wanting wins as easy on the road as at home. Also, when David Darricarrère lets go “we are making a great series and I would like it to continue for a long time”, he thinks of the next two meetings where the CO will play in the big leagues. First in Clermont (Saturday, 6.15 p.m.) as part of the 19th day of daylight saving, and on January 31 in Paris (6 p.m.).
The CO has two revenges to take against two clubs who came to win in the Tarn on the first leg. The Castres are comfortable traveling so it is now that they can demonstrate, confirm, that they still have their place in the front rows. If it is not a wheelchair, they will be satisfied with a jump seat. The CO has just made the most of the skill of its president, who has been able to improve his staff without revolutionizing the achievements, he can now register in the long term and find a more flattering status among the elite.
