Top 14: “Qualification? It's over", concedes Urios (Clermont)

Christophe Urios, manager of Clermont, beaten in Pau (23-18): “I think today was an easy game to win. With patience, mastery, control and efficiency it must be won. It’s a shame, we were superior to this team, in my opinion. The qualification ? It’s over. We knew that we would have to make a strange journey. But we had a difficult week after the European disappointment, and honestly I didn’t know how we were going to behave today. And there is this test taken quickly in the second half, if we had stayed glued, we would have taken the lead much more easily.
