This Friday, October 25, SU Agen won at the Armandie stadium against Colomiers (27-18). The reactions.
Théo Lachaud (Colomiers hooker) : “We had a good first half. We wanted to play at home and we did it well. We had more difficulty in the second half. They pushed the game and they made good their chances. There is frustrated because we came to look for points in this match. We had good possession in their camp and we left with 0 points. They were able to keep us at home and sometimes we couldn’t. get out.”
Guillaume Tartas (pillar of Colomiers) : “It’s annoying because it’s a match that we had targeted, against a direct competitor. When we take 30 points, especially since the watchword before the match was defense, we don’t can’t be satisfied. There’s just the scrum which is a point of satisfaction. We’ll be completely satisfied when we manage to finish the shots in the scoring zone. We have to switch, and have the lead in Montauban. .”
Florian Nicot (assistant coach of Colomiers) : “We didn’t know how to respond to the conquest for 70 minutes. We didn’t know how to be effective enough in our transition game, we didn’t know how to reverse the pressure. They were quicker than us in the movements, they won the collisions, we did not know how to respond to this physical challenge, to their occupation game and their play from behind. We cannot be satisfied with what we did this evening. In addition, we still have two injuries this evening (Max Auriac with his hamstring and Vincent Pinto with his finger).
“Despite the conditions, we are able to produce and have game intentions”
Adel Fellah (assistant coach of SU Agen) : “Despite the conditions, we are able to produce and have game intentions. We put in three tries, we had two refused. We did 100% in touch, we were able to rely on a lot of dominant forwards We had made the bet to have two 10s on the field, with Pourteau at the back who used the length of his game on the feet. We still fulfilled the contract for 60 minutes, with intentions to. game and a big conquest We now have to pay ourselves more.”
Vincent Farré (second row of SU Agen) : “It’s a bit of a victory for the big guys. We hadn’t yet scored on penetrating groupings. We worked hard this week in this sector and the work is paying off. Physically, I don’t feel 100% yet. But I’m working for it, it’s only been three matches that I’ve played together. If we score the two rejected tries, it’s almost the perfect match. It’s an honor to have been welcomed like that by the supporters for my 100th. . I thank the supporters for their welcome. It’s an honor to reach this number of matches and I enjoy it.”
Billy Searle (SU Agen flyhalf) : “It’s frustrating not to have taken five points this evening. The forwards were very good this evening, in these weather conditions. I changed my way of playing because of the weather, I was more in the control and I kicked more.”
