The third row of ASBH evokes the benefits of such a success (29-13) against Soyaux-Angoulême after four consecutive defeats. Between satisfaction in behavior and room for improvement, Baptise Abescat clarified his thoughts after the meeting against SAXV.
Baptiste, is it a relief this evening to return to success?
Happy with the victory, after these four consecutive defeats. We did the work, building our game a little more than usual. Often, we are a little crazy, left and right. For this match, we put down our rugby and above all we took the points when we needed to take them.
Was the key word of the evening efficiency?
Above all, be efficient and put your heart into it. After our not very positive results at home, we knew what we had to do. We performed well in the scoring zones, the complete opposite of Grenoble when we lost here, with a lot of time spent at home without success. Of course, we haven't put everything into it, but when we have the desire, we can no longer lower our heads like we used to.
How to explain this first difficult period against the Angoumoisins?
We foiled a little. They came to us a lot. Afterwards, the score is for us, especially before returning to the locker room. We took a lot of penalties in this first act, where we had to adapt to the refereeing on the rucks. We had a few shots to play on the outside, and as the match went on, things got better for us.
What was said between you afterwards in the locker room?
Dax's reception arrives quickly and we will have to move on. Sunday, we will go back to training. We must continue on this path, and we will see in Colomiers how it will go for the last match of this block.
