“We were put back in our place” (Champions Cup)

Last week, after your victory over Harlequins, the English press talked about “physicality”, the physical dimension supposedly superior to Top 14 clubs. The Sale Sharks took you in that dimension…Proof that these are actually false debates, stereotypes that people like to bring out. The Sale Sharks laid the foundations, played direct and advanced with every impact. They hurt us on that: if you don't win all your impacts, if you don't manage to put your game in place, it becomes complicated. They beat us on that.
