In the wake of the third consecutive victory away from Union Bordeaux-Bègles, captain Maxime Lucu praised the work carried out by his pack of forwards as well as the talent of Louis Bielle-Biarrey, author of two incredible tries to Jean-Bouin…
How do you analyze this large victory in Paris?
We had difficulty starting this meeting and, although we are usually good in discipline, on Saturday evening we were down to seven faults after twenty minutes. However, we were able to hold back for a little while, defend with a lot of solidarity and not take too many points during this weak time. And at half-time, we went ahead…

In Paris, we found a playful Bordeaux team…
In the previous weeks, given the weather conditions, we had to restrict the game produced and we didn’t have much fun. There, with ideal weather and fast terrain, we had offensive intentions and it showed. But what I remember above all is the enormous performance of our front five.
Are you on the right track?
We know the toughness of the Top 14 and the teams we face weekend after weekend. We are therefore forced to return to work every week to try to emerge victorious. […] The confidence gained over the course of the matches allows us to try a little more, to take more risks… Even if nothing is certain, we are on the right path.
What can you say about your teammate Louis Bielle-Biarrey, author of a stunning match on Saturday evening?
His second try, frankly, only he is capable of scoring it. Making a framing-overflow in such a restricted space (facing Parisian winger Charles Laloi, Editor’s note), is strong. For the past year, Louis has been gaining momentum and honestly, I have rarely seen such a talented kid. What he’s doing right now is stratospheric.
