The tension finally subsided after the stormy end of the match between Clermont and the RCT, the Toulonnais returned to Var during the night from Sunday to Monday. Annoyed by the outcome of the match and the circumstances of the three points forgotten en route, but cheered by the face shown to the Michelin.
Enough to further fuel their desire to take on Racing 92 on Saturday (2:30 p.m.)? From the end of the meeting, the leaders insisted in any case on the desire to make use of this Clermont disappointment.
And Pierre Mignoni in all this? In a frenzy at the final whistle, and calmed down by Dany Priso Mouangué and Baptiste Serin, the RCT rugby director himself took some height at the end of the match, well aware that in addition to the immense disappointment and the feeling felt injustice, his group was in good shape and could not let this setback carry him away.
“I have objective reasons, but nothing excuses my attitude”
Better still, cold, the former scrum half made the decision to follow his team’s next meetings from the stands, as he told us this Tuesday afternoon.
“Facing Racing and until further notice, I will follow the matches from the stands. I have objective reasons to have been annoyed, but my reaction is excessive. And ultimately, whatever the reasons or the feelings, nothing No excuses for my attitude. So from Saturday until further notice, I will be in the stands with my staff.”
While we do not yet know whether or not he will be summoned by the LNR disciplinary committee, Pierre Mignoni has therefore made the choice, alone, to take the stand during the next meetings. In the meantime, it is the coach in charge of the kicking strategy, Maxime Petitjean, who will take over from Pierre Mignoni at the edge of the pitch.
