"I'm here to defend a city, a shirt"

You did extend your contract with the Club for a season, can you tell us a few words?

"I do not like to talk too much, you know, but I'm really excited to extend my adventure with the FCG for another season. It is a chance to live in such a beautiful city. It is a chance for me to be able to give the best of myself for this team, this club and for my teammates. It was also very important for my family to be able to continue living here. I am really very happy. "

You're 35, you think it's your last contract?

" I am not sure. I feel good, my body continues to follow. The age for me is only a number. I want to keep playing, I feel really good, I pay attention and I think I'm always competitive. I will see year after year what I could do. It is my body that will decide the end. "

You were not worried about the club situation?

" Not at all. You know, sincerely, I do not attach importance to the division in which I play. Whether it's in Top14, Super Rugby, selection, or if we can not keep up, in Pro D2, the only thing I care about is the team in front of me. I'm not afraid of anyone. I have been in this situation in the past, I am confident. I know we can do that. I just want to meet the challenges, play for the FCG and for my family. Come on the ground to be at the best level and bring my qualities to the team. "

Are you a kind of daddy for the team today?

"Yes it's true and it's new to me. I try above all to be a good example, as a player and a man for the younger ones. I am also here to accompany them to the top level and try to help them become the best. I would put all my energy into framing and protecting them. For me all the players of this team are equivalent, I do not see stars, young or old, I just see my teammates. "

You're a player you like to call hard, is that important to you?

"Yes I know, I drag that reputation and my wife does not really like it ... But it's me. In all the teams I played with, I always got back on the field scared of anyone. Rugby is a competition, a challenge. I want to be sure that whenever I come back on a pitch I can look my opponent in the eye and say, "I come for you!" I am here to defend a city, a jersey, my teammates and my family. It is for them that I am on the ground. You know, rugby is an old business where everyone tries to kill the other. That's just rugby, and that's what I like. "
