Despite the defeat in Toulouse, Bernard Jackman was intended optimistic.
The reaction Bernard Jackman collected by lequipe.fr: "We will soon get out of this nightmarish time, I'm sure. I'm not completely satisfied, obviously, because we lost, but I finally see a basis for progress. So far, we have not been as rigorous in defense. If we continue to show such a state of mind, this period of bad luck follows us since the beginning of the season will soon be over, and it will leave room for another period where all decisions of the referees will be in our favor up the end. If you do not play the next match with the same mindset, you're dead.
Against Toulouse, we mostly been dominated physically. It's hard when you're just 80kg to compete against players like Tekori ?! Us to move forward, we need players like Grice, Wisniewski, McLeod, Hunt, Roodt, Aplon ... These are our leaders, and when they are not there, it is less effective. It's not an excuse, it's just reality. It's like the Racing played without Imhoff, Carter, and Machenaud Laulala. iI would necessarily be less strong. Tonight I had a sideline of six forwards and two-three quarters. This is not a choice. It's just that since the injury to Estebanez this week, I had no more three-quarters in reserve to put on the sheet!
With the draw against Lyon Bayonne and Pau's defeat against Bordeaux, nothing has changed for us. It will be a very important game to play at home against Bayonne, the next weekend, then two matches in European Challenge. We should recover much of the world during this time, so I'm sure we will always fight to the evening of the 26th round. "
