the essential
The former three-quarter center is in his ninth season as backline coach at AS Layrac.
Have you found the formula for this to work well?
This is the formula for winning that we must find because we are down to four defeats in the 80th minute. It has serious consequences, it’s frustrating. It’s annoying for everyone in the club.
What are the ingredients of the right formula?
We know it but it depends on everyone: the staff, the players. We must all be focused on the same objective which is for the moment to keep the club in Federal 1. The bonus will be even better. To get there, you have to win matches. This goes through the head and legs. The guys need to be aware of the situation. I think they are. You have to try harder to win matches. We ask a lot, but we don’t do enough. You have to do violence to yourself. It’s not normal for us to fish in lucidity. We have difficulty managing this money-time due to lack of physical effort, mental effort, consistency, and intelligence. Rugby is a sport of combat but also of intelligence.
Your ranking requires you to take points…
We are not far from the last qualifier and we are not far from the penultimate place either. We are between two waters. We need to have a very good start to 2025 because we will need points. We all need to mobilize. This requires the will of the players, courage, values and winning.
