Even if it’s a collective victory, and without the friends we won’t achieve anything, it’s still a good match for you?
Yeah, yeah, I’m personally happy to have played a good game first. Afterwards, there, it’s a team sport and there is also the fact that I was the scorer in this match which means that I scored points on foot because we also scored tries and a few penalties . So it’s overall a very good result, personally and collectively.
10 or 15, as long as you’re on the score sheet, you’re happy… but does the fly-half position allow you to express yourself more?
As I often say, the opener position at the back position at Stade Toulousain are still quite similar. Even if at the opener’s position, it’s true that we touch the ball more, we decide the game more than behind, but for me it’s just a number behind the back. In any case, on the pitch, I try to express myself as much as I have the 10 or the 15 behind me.
An apprehension for this trip to Brive?
In Brive it’s always complicated matches. We know that it is a team that plays rather maintenance each season. But that doesn’t prevent them from being very tough matches. It’s a team that also puts a lot of aggression throughout the game. So there you go, we’ll have to prepare well, analyze their game well and then focus on ours and try to get into the game from the kick-off. And not wait to suffer a little Brive assaults.
The game in Pau (defeat of Stade Toulousain) keeps a cool head?
I think that in matches like in Brive this weekend, or in Pau, these are matches that can look alike, it’s important to remember that too. Because if we were talking about the matches earlier that we had been able to succeed, but this one, we completely missed it. So I don’t think we want to miss twice in such a short time in the Top14. So of course we will be able to use it, especially in the aggressiveness that we were able to put on that day in Pau which was almost non-existent. So let’s hope things go better this weekend at that level.
