Julien Marchand salutes the performances of Clément Vergé

The return of Clément Vergé did not escape Virgile Lacombe, nor did it leave Julien Marchand indifferent. And receiving the compliments of one of the indisputable executives of the Toulouse locker room, when you are 23 years old and around twenty matches in red and black, that must obviously count.

“He is a player who has had very good matches for a while and especially very good training, which is very important. He is remarkable because he is someone who doesn't necessarily talk but who works a lot. I am very happy for him because his work shows on the weekend,” declared the international hooker about his young partner.

When we look closely, the Blues team formed by Thibaud Flament (27 years old) and Emmanuel Meafou (26 years old) already has behind it the pair Joshua Brennan – Clément Vergé (23 years old each) who are starting to push to make themselves a place. Scary !

In Toulouse, competition has no age limit

Like Guillaume Cramont, like Mathis Castro-Ferreira, like Paul Costes, Clément Vergé knew how to seize his chance. Julien Marchand, while distributing the good points, however recalled that nothing was ever taken for granted at Stade Toulousain. Whatever the generation.

“We can’t just bring out one young person. I don't even know why I say young, because they're not even young anymore. We can't just target one player, just one guy, but it's true that Clément had a great match (against Perpignan, editor's note). Afterwards, we must continue, because in his image, there are ten who are in his wheel and who do exactly the same,” breathes the captain.

“This maturity that they can have is still something quite impressive. Even when they haven't played five or ten matches, they are already ready. Afterwards, you shouldn't get carried away. We have to stay with our feet on the ground and continue to work for everyone, whether it is them or us, the slightly older ones as they say. But everyone has to work,” he concludes.
