If Lenni Nouchi considers that he and his teammates will travel “to play against the best”, he also gave his opinion on the performance of the “red and black” last week in the Champions Cup (victory 80- 12 against Leicester). “Only one team was playing on the pitch, I find it amazing to be able to score 80 points for a team like Leicester.
