"It was a great seeing"

  • Peter Kimlin

Peter Kimlin is happy to finally be able to count on Hendrik Roodt and Rory Grice, who will begin their season on Saturday in Toulon.

It is good to see some players back on the field?

"Yes, it's really good. Especially when the club alternating ups and downs. Especially guys like Rory or Hendrik. It's always good to have players who have been injured a long time back on the field. They are players who are very important for the club, who have been consistent in the last seasons. It is a great satisfaction. "

What makes you optimistic for the future of the club in Top 14?

"When you look at our last performance in the Top 14 at home, we managed to play a good match against Bayonne at the Stade des Alpes. We must have a lot of confidence from this game. And, with players returning from injury, this should create a "snow ball" effect, which should enable us to achieve a good performance in Toulon. "

You were in the team that won in Toulon there almost 3 years. What memories do you keep from this victory?

"The first thing I remember is that at Toulon, the crowd was very angry when we beat them. It was a good seeing. I hope we will review that this weekend! This will be a big challenge. Although they are not at their best, they have not made the greatest season, they played well in Sale in Champions Cup. It will be difficult, but I hope we will achieve a good performance and we can repeat what we did in the last few seasons. "
