"Show that they can trust us"

  • Gervais Cordin

The Burgundian back and membre of the Academy of the club will play Friday his first pro game

What do you feel as you approach this first game?

"It's weird. I was a little surprised when I learned that I was starting the game. I did not expect to play directly, so early in the season. It's a game to play, you have to show your cards and then there you go! "

Do you feel anxiety?

"Above all, there is a desire to do well and show the staff and the club alumni that they can trust us, the youngsters. You really have to try not to put negative pressure, but positive pressure, to go all out and make a big game. We've been playing rugby for 14 years when we're 18 years old. In a way, we've been preparing this first game for 14 years. It is a step and it must be crossed. If we cross it well, after ... we're going to do all the season and start a good career, I hope! "

What do you think of Massy's team, co-leader after the first day?

"They showed beautiful things in Carcassonne last week, even though we saw on the video that Carcassonne was not very in place. We'll see what that gives but Massy seemed to play well in rugby. We are quite serious about the preparation of the match, because they put 40 points outside. We will have to be ready and serious. And then we're going to have to win the game, we're not allowed to miss the first at home. "
