"We have to remain vigilant"

Soyaux-Angouleme, a test trip?

"Anyway, in Pro D2, all movements are tests. So maybe it's a little more so, because it's a top-of-the-range team. Who has been doing well since the beginning of the season. With only one defeat. After that, it wasn't an objective at the beginning of the season either. The objective is to be efficient, to be constant. We need to gain a little more consistency in our games. No, it will allow you to evaluate yourself against a great Pro D2 team. So we're still looking forward to tomorrow night. "

Focus on this match, as soon as the derby is over

"We know the atmosphere in Angouleme. A bit of an English stadium. A lot of people at the stadium. Often full. With a beautiful atmosphere. And then when you see the Angoulême team, you feel that it is a team that fights a lot, that puts a lot of heart into it. So we'll have a challenge in that regard. We'll see how we respond to it. And for that, we'll see what we've got in our stomachs. This is important. Well, once again, looking forward to tomorrow night. "

A more complicated away games than the previous ones?

"I'm not sure. I think, as I said, the Pro D2 is very homogeneous. There are many teams that look alike. I think they are a very good team, but I'm not sure it's any harder than in Carcassonne, Aix-en-Provence or Mont-de-Marsan. I think we'll be in the same game profile. It's a tough game for us. A lot of fighting. Team waiting for us, because we're the team that goes down from Top 14. But it will still be a very tough game for us. 

The FCG, a reaction team?

"A little bit, for now. Because that's what we saw. It's true that's why I said we need to be a little more consistent, to have a little more consistency in our performance. Even though I think that, over the six games, we had two air holes of two times ten minutes. That's what cost us so much. Between Colomiers and Mont-de-Marsan. Because after that, even if these are games where there were very different scenarios, I think the team was more present. Unfortunately, the two air holes we had, we paid a lot of money for them. Obviously, this weekend, we will have to avoid air holes. Because it can, once again.... They can be worn by their audience, a certain atmosphere. So we have to be vigilant. "

The lack of vigilance, responsible for these air holes?

"Very honestly, no more than that. I think we've had some weak times on some games. But we're really.... We were punished twice. But really on two air holes again, which didn't last long. Colomiers, we took two tests in less than 10 minutes. This was also the case in Mont-de-Marsan. We took two tests in five minutes. Over 6 times 80 minutes, which is 480 minutes, if my accounts are good. Which is not a big deal either. But the fact is that we paid a high price for it. To avoid paying a high price for these small road trips, we need to have a little more consistency and collect a lot less points when we may feel a little less well. It's also very mental. We can't let go, clearly. "
