"Showing heart for Grenoble to be proud of its team"

  • Mahamadou Diaby

Mahamadou Diaby will start the game against Castres

The flancker of the FCG wants to refocus on the game and to thank the fans for their support.

"We have an public, we have supporters to respect. People come to see us. The stadium was filled last Sunday against Toulon. Despite everything that happens, despite all the matches we have lost, we have to be honest, it must be said, despite the bad performances, people always support us. And it's amazing! Just for that, we have to offer them beautiful rugby. Saying we're going to win all the games would be a lack of humility, but we have to be heart-warming to be proud of their team. "

"Castres is a bit of a historic game. The elders will speak better than I do. But it's a team that always bothers us. It's going to make a good rugby match. [Christophe Urios] has prepared them well, we must expect a big opposition. "

"If we look at the performance of Toulon here, we can say that it will be more complicated against Castres. I think that the Toulon players have been a little bit off-track in terms of what they were planning to do here, compared to what they did in the first half. This is going to be a little more complicated. Whatever happens, it will be a tough match, but we have to put heart and envy, quite simply. "
