USAP lost heavily on the pitch at Stade Toulouse this past Saturday afternoon (41-9). First reactions, hot.
Franck Azéma, USAP manager:
“The score is heavy, I think. But it is the price because, as soon as you move a little and lose a connection in the line, you pay it in money. Unfortunately, I find that the boys have not given up. But, at this time, we have to grit our teeth, that’s not how we wanted to present it. We could have fought more, but they knew how to control their game and that is Toulouse’s strength despite the rounds. There were still good things. The ball was lost 5 meters from the line against this team, we should have hit the mark.”
Paul Graou, analyst from Stade Toulouse:
“We were all excited to play this game but this first half created frustration for us. We started the game well, but let ourselves fall asleep a bit. In the second half, we were consistent. We have been working very well for many years in the doubles, the young people often train with us, so there is no real surprise about their performance tonight.”
David Mélé, assistant coach at Stade Toulouse:
“We had promised each other things all week. We knew USAP’s intentions, and they gave us problems in the first half. I would even say we caused problems by not respecting what was said ourselves. We did the hard work in rugby, there’s no secret: when we make clean kicks, when we’re connected, we have fast balls to find opportunities to score. what happened in the second half me hopefully some of us are still left under the pedal But, when we respect what we have to apply and the basis of this game, we manage to do interesting things in the first half we wanted too much to play “baballe”, and USAP came with a fight and intensity so that we could not play like that. Perpignan.”
