The arrival of the leader is necessarily a very big test for the "Rouge & Bleu".
"That's for sure. This is the best thing that is being done in France for the moment. It's excellence. So we're going to try to measure ourselves, to try to compete with them to win this game."
The ASM will have some absentees, with the internationals selected in Marcoussis. Are you going to try to take advantage of it?
"Enjoy, I don't know. Because they have a very large staff. We know that they have a big tank at all the stations and that it will be extremely difficult. These are players who may have played a little less this year, but who will give everything to try to win their place. So I think we're going to have to be careful because it's still going to be a very good team coming to us."
After the victory against Bordeaux, the victory against the Harlequins, the draw in Agen, you are rather confident?
"A little confidence... It certainly feels good to win, to make good results. But with Clermont, it's going to be another level, we're going up a notch. It's going to take a big performance to win."
What do you personally expect from this game?
"Try to benchmark yourself with what's across the street. Trying to compete, to be at the level to exist."
You've played a lot as a back-row since the beginning of the season. There, you find your favourite position on the second line. What difference does that make to you?
"Not much. It doesn't change much. I try to play, to please myself, not to look too much at the number in the back, to do the work that is asked of me for the benefit of the team."
