"Grenoble has no choice"

Back to competition

"It was very long. I do not know if there really is a bad time to get injured but I was in good momentum. If I had been bothered by an injury, I just played my first game with the XV of France and my pains disappeared. And after three weeks of preparation, I get hurt again while I was in great shape ... "

The season of the club

"It is a reality that defeat against Pau is a disaster since with the one suffered against La Rochelle, it deprives us of eight points in the maintien. But there were strong words, it is mainly in order to get a reaction, not to pose a negative atmosphere. There is no question of giving up. The FCG has no choice and must pick up points everywhere. (In Toulouse, it seems) ... pretentious, yes. But again, Grenoble has no choice. Of course Toulouse is a great team but if we move with the idea that it will be difficult, we must stay at home, it becomes useless to dispute the end of the championship. Personally, I am confident that we can work this out. I hope that we will quickly find collective solutions."

The XV de France

"The staff trusted me once in June but we must be realistic: the circumstances of the summer tour was that the players of four clubs could not apply. It was a great opportunity for me ... I was given many lines of work, I know where I have to move to eventually return. I know myself, I am a fighter and I would love to play again. If I do, the better, but my only priority at the moment is the club. "
