“Gaël Dréan is a rocket, I asked him to step out of his comfort zone a little, like the team,” rejoices the RCT manager

Pierre Mignoni (Toulon rugby director, after the RCT's big victory against Bayonne, 39-19): “I am happy for the players because they have worked a lot in recent weeks and they are rewarded today. Our offensive play was very criticized, rightly so because we have the talent to do better, but we didn't free ourselves. We had to question ourselves with the staff and we worked a lot on that (…) (on his winger Gaël Dréan, author of three essays) I asked Gaël Dréan to get out of his comfort zone a little like the team. He has to touch the ball and offer himself because he’s a rocket. We need to see it.”

Grégory Patat (general manager of Bayonne): “For me, the match was over in the 45th minute, when we took Mathieu Smaili's interception and try. We wanted to succeed in our start to the match but there was a quality RCT team today and we were unable to apply our game plan. We made a lot of passes without being effective. To win in Toulon today you have to be efficient.”
