"The girls play for the title"

The Amazones have been unbeaten since the start of the season. Emmanuel Pellorce, their coach, evokes the next deadlines of the Grenobloises.

The draw conceded in La Valette

"It's a very bad performance. The score is one thing, but we have failed in the state of mind. This is quite serious insofar as we were absent in combat and tactically absent. Collectively, we missed the game and did not rebel. In the week that followed, it was a question of a rather strong video return. We told ourselves the truths because it was not the first time that our performance was disappointing. I think of Chilly-Mazarin or Nanterre. But here, against la Valette, we were catastrophic. "

The end of the regular season

"The goal is to set the record straight, to erase our imperfections and to erase our disappointing performance in la Valette. Either we continue in the line of this non-match and we go to the front of a big disillusion in the quarterfinal, or we put things back in order, our rugby in place, and the outcome of the season can be Happier. Today we must find our warlike soul, which we have lost somewhat. It's not far. We have made a mistake, but we will quickly regain our values. "

Post-season

"We talked about it at a meeting, but for now, it's time for reframing. Girls should not see themselves too beautiful and risk a big disappointment. We have to get back to work and do some quality training to get through this difficult stage of the quarterfinals. I come back to la Valette. If we play like that, we will not go very far in the final stages. (...) There is a bit of pressure, but I think the team that's favorite on the climb is Bayonne. It was a formation that was unbeaten until the last round and has four international. (...) Beyond the climb, I would say that the big disappointment would be not to be champion of France. The girls play the title. That is their goal. "
