"I’m expecting a lot from the team and from myself"

  • Steven Setephano

After long weeks far from the field, the FCG skipper should be back within the group this weekend

Your come-back

"Hopefully. I’m looking forward to it. It’s been a long time off. I’m excited to be back with the group. "

The bad momementum

"We had a lot of different challenges we faced. Lot of players, you know, injured. Rotations probably disturbed. The sequence of that period. Maybe. I thought we still provided a good platform there, to work on for the team. Hopefully the Sunday after a good break-off we can produce the goods that we did at the start of the season. But we keep working on the things that we also did well over the last four or five weeks. "

The victory in Vannes

"Yeah. It was definitely a good win after losing at home to Perpignan. We knew we had to really come together as one. Go to Vannes and win there. I thought the boys showed a lot of character, a lot of spirit. And, to win the game worth in with the look scoring their try is just a taste of character from our team. It is not easy to win away. As we know. We have lost a lot of game away. So it was good to pick up that win. It was a very important win for us. "

The week off

"Definitely. We had a lot of players who played a lot of minutes over the season. So, to give those guys a bit of a break… And also for the guys that haven’t played much, that was an opportunity for them to really work on some skills and some of that area we, as individual, need to work on. And, collectively, as a team… We came together last week; we had a little bit of fun. And, this week, we’ve got 5, 6 days to prepare for Montauban. Everyone is excited. "

The rest of the season

"I’m expecting a lot from the team and from myself. I know we’ve done a lot of hard work over the last 3 or 4 blocks. Some good stuff has come there. We have some time where we were tested and exposed in different areas of our games. So it has been a good time to reflect on some of the things we can work on. Also looking to head we need a boad. If we are looking to be in the top 6, we need to really build a momentum. And look for big games coming up. So every game from now on is a final footy for us. "

Your shape

"I wouldn’t be training otherwise. You know, at my age, I’ve got to keep my body fit. If I know I’m at 100%, I’ll come on the field and train and make myself available for this week. "
