It was long, but we all looked into each other's eyes and said that we couldn't give up, that it was the last action and that we had to give everything, every time, we were very happy with this penalty try, as we moved forward, as we tried to put the game away. We were all afraid in this match. couldn't play despite the number on the field, but we didn't give up until the end, managing to finish at the end. Oyonnax was really very difficult throughout the match by trying to slow down the game. game every time, also managing to win a lot of balls on the ground In what they know how to do very well, they managed to counter us. We need to work on the supports, be much more reactive. t's the first time this year that I've started at home and I really wanted to prove that last week it wasn't a coincidence. In the end, our “freshness” undoubtedly makes the difference because we don't forget. not that they played at 14 almost the entire match, at 13, or even at 12 at one point.”
