"We know what game we have to play"

The shape of the moment

"I think it's okay. Honestly. We are on our third match of the final phase. After, I feel a lot of excitement from the players. The event is that, we are excited, we are impatient. I really feel on the side of the players. Then, fatigue. It's always easier to digest when you win games, when you're in the final. But we also lighten the weeks. This allows players to recover. We do the same number of training sessions, but, in terms of time spent on the field, it is much smaller. Which allows us to recover much better. On the physical freshness of the guys, on the freshness mental, I think that Sunday, we will be well. "

The favourite

"We are on a good momentum. So, indeed, they are logical favorites, at the sight of their season. Because they finished first, they beat us twice. After, it's a final. A final is not always the logic. We, we know the match we have to do anyway. We are not favorite. But hey, it's a role that does not hurt us anymore, I think. Indeed, as you said, it takes a bit of pressure off us. We just want to be ready on D-day. I think, I hope so, that we will be. We did everything for. The dynamic is that, indeed, have won a quarterfinal, over 80 minutes, to have won a half away, on cleaver matches like that, where we know that we can lose everything in 80 minutes, or win everything. It does bring us confidence and momentum, maybe we did not have a few weeks ago. "

What will make the difference

"It will be the quality of what we propose. Perpignan is really a nice team. But here, on these games, on these finals, it's always a point of detail, a decision, good or bad, in a sometimes key moment of the game. It's up to us to lean that moment on our side. "

Lolagi Visinia

"He was a very important player during the season, able to make a lot of individual differences. It was Bernard Jackman who had brought him to the club, who had signed him early in the season. This is a player from New Zealand, who played Super Rugby. A good player, who frankly can make important individual differences. I relied a lot on him this year, on the wing or the back. Unfortunately, he had some physical glitches, including ischios, quadriceps. He came back just last week, for the match against Montauban. I put him on the bench, because he did not have the physics to start a rugby match. With a small risk too, because when you put a player limit on the bench, if he returns, he is able to hurt himself after 5 minutes. So it was a real risk. There he is better. I find that from week to week ... Just this week, there is an evolution from last week. I think he will be in full possession of his means for the final. This is a good thing. "

The title of champion

"Already, it would be a pride. But not especially for me. It's always the reward of a job for us the staff, for the players, for the people of the club, for a city. Grenoble is a club that has played a long time in the Top 14. Which has a fairly glorious past in the first division. Who made a final in 93. That's it. Who really has a lot of fans behind him. Personally, we are happy. But everyone is happy if we have a title, of course. Beyond that, there is the collective feeling. We are happy for the people around the club, we are happy for the players, we are happy for the fans. This is especially important. "
