"I know that I might be booed"

Your first game with the FCG will be in Perpignan. And it will be special?

"Of course it's special. Because it's my last club, where I spent six years. So there you go, that's good. It would have been any team opposite, I would have been excited. The goal when you come to a new club is to prove yourself. And to prove yourself, you have to play. Tomorrow I'm on the field. I'm going to play. Against a Pro D2 team. That's the way I see it. "

But it won't be just any Pro D2 team...

"Afterwards, it is true that, for my return, I would have preferred that there was no restricted gauge in relation to the health crisis. But, well, that's the way it is. We're going to take advantage of it. "

You should be welcomed?

"I hope so. In any case, I haven't forgotten anything. I don't forget where I go. They have already given me back a lot. Maybe they'll give me a standing ovation when I go back to school. But I know that, culturally, I can be whistled at. That's also part of the people there. Their culture, as I told you. It wouldn't surprise me if, when I put the ball on the tee, there are 4 or 5 whistles blowing from the bays. "

In recent seasons, this game has become a classic.

"It's related to the ambitions of the clubs. Because it's the same ambitions. And we've always followed each other. From the Pro D2 to the Top 14, through the final stages. And that's how the rivalry was born. Because you play great games every time you play against each other. "

This will add a little spice to this game?

"What's good is that at least we're going to see if we're big boys. With the first boulder we made, we go directly to a big contender. And I hope that we will also make a great game, in content, in all areas of the game, to respond to the Catalan assaults. And to try to win, to create an exploit. And, above all, we will get back on our feet and quickly get out of this uncomfortable zone. And above all, to launch our season. "
