Joan Cadullo, Manager Du Mhr : “We held a halftime the showdown. When we make mistakes in front of this team, it's difficult, we know how he plays. In the first half, they move and we manage to hold .
There are regrets on the refused test. Apparently, Jordan does not look at the ball as he is in the fight. I will have to look at the regulations. It hurts us a little. We had won the territory on the first half, too bad not to mark more.
We cannot be satisfied to get out of there with 0 points. I am not satisfied to lose today, we do not do this job for that. What is important is that we show a good image of us. “

But we take tests against the course of the game at key moments. This is the difference between them and us. Even cornered, they manage to improve the little ball they have.
It's frustrating to have lost this evening, we came for at least one point. We must not throw everything either, we started from this block, we had objectives, we filled them in terms of points, whether it was Clermont, Racing, Bayonne, we must not throw everything away, we must leave On vacation proud of this block. It is a beautiful block on the whole. You have to learn from these small errors, from these air hole moments, that it serves us later, we still held beautiful teams in check. “

They put war on the exteriors, one of our strengths. In the second half , we knew how to recover. In defense or in attack, we found what we knew how to do.
In the first half, we fall into this particular rhythm. Fortunately there is this test refused. We put ourselves in danger alone, we give them a lot of possibilities, but we have a very courageous defense. In the second, when you recover a penalty on their strong point, with our pack, it's nice to everyone. “
Alexandre Roumat, third line of the Toulouse stadium : “The first half is hired, sacadée. We had worked all week on Montpellier's game. We knew how they were going to play. In scrum and in touch, we had trouble. In intensity and in the 'Envy, we were present, but we could not concretize, like this action where we can take this test just before half-time. New, we played them too much in front of the defense at first. “
