Rugby – National: “We did not exist, you cannot win if you do not advance”, reacts quickly to President Xavier Marco after the rout of Narbonne in Périgueux

The Racing Club Narbonnais suffered a heavy disappointment on the pitch in Périgueux this Saturday afternoon (40-13). Aude president Xavier Marco did not want to sound the alarm, but warned his players.

Does this team have the face of a contender for promotion to Pro D2?

Indeed, in this Saturday afternoon's match, that is not the case. We came across a great team from Périgueux. We didn't play the game we should have. We lacked precision and as long as we do not have this precision in gestures and play, we will not be able to move forward.

What's going on in this team?

There was no revolt. It looked like they weren't there… However, the match was properly prepared. Now we have to work. But it's not catastrophic, there are a lot of teams who lost here and who will lose again here. On the other hand, we have to work for the next match against Bourg-en-Bresse, then for the trip to , Langon and . You have to be ready for these deadlines. I have confidence in my staff and my players, otherwise I would not have made the four-hour drive to Périgueux to take 40 points.

The championship is long, let's take it game by game and move forward.

How can we explain this lack of revolt?

It should be noted that we came across a great team from Périgueux, who are also doing a great job building their club. It’s up to us to get to work.

37 points in Chambéry, 40 in Périgueux, on the scoreboard, isn’t that a lot already?

Afterwards in Chambéry, we lost the match alone, we gave them the match as a gift. This time, we didn't exist, we were always on the defensive. They were better on carried balls, on conquest. You can't win if you don't move forward, the game starts in front. If you're not ready from the front, you can't win. I repeat, I have confidence in everyone, the championship is long. Let's take it game by game and move forward.
