Maxime Lucu (opener for Bordeaux-Bègles, after the 31-28 defeat against Racing 92): “A lot of disappointment. Sadness too. It’s been three weeks since La Rochelle that we’ve been struggling a bit, we’ve been hit quite a bit. Is right. We trained like crazy, we made a lot of effort. But, when you play a game like that, you lose a game like that… it’s hard. We can only blame ourselves: we gave too many balls to Racing 92. We are too feverish, we give them too many points easily. It’s hard to counter them. It’s hard to swallow.”
Clément Maynadier: “We have an exciting end to the league: there are four games left. We’re going to have to launch the sprint earlier than planned, we still have the cards in hand even if it’s dwindling. There are four games left. Deep. We’ve always been better in adversity. I’m not worried. I’m not sure the atmosphere is crazy on Monday, but we have the ability to quickly switch to the week. Either way, we have no choice. I am sure of the group. We showed a lot of things, that we will have to count on us until the end.
