"The crow was behind us"

  • Bernard Jackman

Bernard Jackman praised his players for the victory against Bayonne.

"This is a game we could not lose. But if there is an available bonus, you had to go get him. When they received the yellow card in the first half, we put a lot of pressure. We did not score straight away, but it paid off in the second half. "

"It was our best performance since March and the victory against Connacht. Our players deserve it. They have been criticized a lot, but no one let go. I guarantee that there are very good players in this group, with a strong character. It would have been easy to make excuses, but the human qualities of this group are obvious. I am very happy for them. It was not easy to Lesdiguières since the beginning of the season. This week, we still have bad news in terms of injuries. We lost Lucas Dupont after twenty minutes ... We set up a very good performance. "

"It has now been two weeks Challenge Cup arriving at the right time. We will regain some freshness. We will continue to work the defense, which was very efficient tonight, even though we took a test. It was three weeks before moving forward Toulon which should enable us to improve our game project ".

"We have 11 points in the standings. If we had had 16, everyone would have said we had passed our early season. With all the injuries we have, being just 5 points behind, it's not too serious, it is not dead! "

"Everybody knows that this Top 14 is the most competitive ever held, with no weak team. The Top 14 is a marathon, a war. We have to win enough battles to stay in the Top 14. We won a battle tonight, but others will come again and again. "

"The public was behind us tonight. And we need that. We need the whole city, the entire region for the maintenance. "
