After a match full of twists and turns, the Bordelais overthrew the Bretons on Saturday evening during the 10th day of Top 14. At the final whistle, Maxime Lafage railed about his team's errors and the chronic indiscipline of his team, while Yann Lesgourgues had a thought for his fly half, Matthieu Jalibert, who was injured in the 10th minute.
Union Bordeaux-Bègles managed an unexpected comeback in Brittany to win 29-37 thanks to a one-sided second period. The Vannes residents even let the defensive bonus slip away. At the final whistle, at the Canal+ microphone, Maxime Lafage and Yann Lesgourgues expressed, unsurprisingly, very different feelings.
Maxime Lafage: fly half of Vannes
- The cruel 29-37 defeat after leading 29-0:
“I think we looked too good, we threw balls at each other's heads! We were less connected in the second half and, against big teams like Bordeaux, we paid for it in cash. Tonight, we We showed two faces Let's try to keep the positive to move forward, because next week, we still have a big match to play (.in La Rochelle, Editor’s note).”
- The faults in the second period
“It's hard to answer straight away, because there's a lot of disappointment and there was something else to do this evening. But we need to get out of our camp better, to be more precise and, above all, more disciplined.”
Yann Lesgourgues, UBB scrum half
- The first period completely failed
“We got through it. We did anything, and not at all what we had worked for all week. At the break, there wasn't much to say. We just had to get over it in the match and put our game in place. We made the necessary efforts to win this match, including holding the ball, relying on the wind, not panicking and we knew it was going to work. “It's very good to win tonight.”
“I don't think his exit disturbed us that much, because we were taking on water at the start of the match and, if he had stayed on the pitch, it would have been the same thing, I think. “It's a shame to see him give up his place quickly in the match, because we all know his offensive qualities. We won for Matthieu this evening.”
