Thomas Geffré after his last game in Combertlin, a last game in front of an audience who worn you for 3 years.
I imagine there was a lot of emotions when you got back on the field and even during the whole match?
Frankly, yes, I returned after the warm -up, the little tour of honor, I will not hide it from you, I was crying, the same in the locker room before the match. It was a lot of emotions, we had a great reaction in the second half because we were mulled in 1st. They had come with intentions, winning here is done, we are disappointed with the result but we hung on and we went to the end. We will have to do something maybe in Narbonne otherwise, we will fall back on the accession match.
What did you miss today?
We lacked war in the rucks. We had the ball, we didn’t know what to do with it, it was a bit complicated, at the level of the keys, and even me, we spoiled the ammunition. It’s like that, it’s rugby, we will catch up.
Is it still Langon because we saw that you had a pride reaction in the second half to die with arms in hand?
There was a big speech by captains and coaches at halftime. We had a nice reaction but that was not enough, unfortunately.
We must now focus on the last match or the last two games to start from Langon with the feeling of accomplished duty?
Yes, it would be beautiful. We know that it will be complicated but we will give everything as usual.
One last word for the public of Comberlin?
It’s been three years and at first, they weren’t much, it was complicated to bring people back but it was thread by needle. Today, I think there were 3,000 or 3,500 people and it’s super beautiful, thank you to follow us for 3 years and that it continues.
