The FCG host Castres for an important game
The French champion or the ninth of the championship?
"Of course we play the French champion. We all know the qualities and difficulty of playing Castres. Certainly, they are going through a difficult time. It makes the game even more complicated, because they need points at all costs. They will want to reassure themselves about the things that make them strong: the fight and a big defense. So we're expecting a very complicated game. This is surprising, especially since they made two missteps at home, which caused them to lose points in the standings. Without these false notes, they would be four or five, which would be their place. It's true that it's amazing to see them like that. But that's not our concern. We have to earn points in the race for maintenance. »

"It would be really positive to be able to do 2, 3 good performances in a row, but we thought we should be careful; sometimes, when we play one or two good games, we tend to dive down and perform less well. We must not do that this weekend, because otherwise it will be a poor performance at home against Castres. You really have to be vigilant and put the same ingredients as on our last 2 games"
An important step towards the maintien?
"It would certainly be a game that would be good for us in terms of accounting. It would take us a little further away from the red zone. After that, maintenance is something that is done all season long. You mustn't catch fire, even after one or two victories. But, of course, in accounting terms it would do us a lot of good.
