Etienne Dussartre will be back on the field against his former club
How did this break go during the international window?
"The truce went pretty well in the sense that we ended up on a fairly positive block of games, even though we would have liked to win against Clermont. But the draw was already a great result. Everyone has had a good rest and is looking forward to competing in this new game. »
You return to the fields having played very little since the beginning of the season. Does it have to itch?
"I played a game and then I got hurt. So, it's been eight weeks, I think, since I've played. Of course, it's nice to play again, but even more so against my former Racing teammates. I know almost everyone, I have a lot of friends there and I'm really happy to be facing them. I'm also going to discover the stadium but I'm happy to play against them again. »
With this match during the November Tour, is there a better chance to win at the Paris La Défense Arena?
"Anyway, you always have to start with the idea that you want to try to win, otherwise there's no point in making the trip. But, having been there, and I think that's the way it is in all the big clubs in the Top 14, these are teams that know that they will play the European Cup, that there are international matches. They have the squad to handle it. Of course, they have players missing, but the players who will play tomorrow will be just as good, I think. »
How do you feel about playing this game on a synthetic turf?
"I think the rhythm is going to be a little different. Maybe it'll speed up the game a little bit. Maybe it's better to have the ball than to defend it! »
