If the success is there, and allows the Maritimes to have a second success in a row, the manner has not completely satisfied manager Ronan O’Gara. “It was a real Top 14 away match” began the Irishman in comments notably relayed by The Team. “The content? There is still a lot, a lot of work to do. We are six levels below Toulouse. We make a lot of little mistakes, I need to create an environment so that we don’t play constantly “large- wide”.
