Arthur and Edgar Retière will no doubt remember this Sunday, October 2, 2022 for a long time.. The two brothers formed the hinge of Stade Toulousain with the numbers 9 and 10 behind them at the start of the match won in Montpellier (17-19).
“After the first impact, it was launched”
Edgar Retière therefore had his first minutes of Top 14 this Sunday. With a success at the key, nice baptism: “It was a big match with a lot of intensity which was decided on the details. They hit the post… But we didn’t give up. We won with a young group. little but we proved that it was a whole group that had won today. I was a little stressed at the beginning on the first balls but after the first impact, it was launched. I had a lot of confidence from all the teammates, from all the coaches. I was prepared this week to play this match. I’ve been training with the team for three years so I was ready to play.”
“9 and 10, it’s still incredible”
Edgar Retière was also able to benefit from the words of his older brother Arthur, much more accustomed to this kind of meeting:“We didn’t expect to play so early together. 9 and 10 is still incredible. We have automatisms, we know each other. He told me to play simple, then on the pitch the communication passes as if we were in the garden.
