Philippe Saint-André (sporting director of Montpellier, beaten 33-30 in Bayonne): “At least today we played rugby. During the first 20 minutes, we lacked efficiency in the scoring zone. Afterwards, the Bayonnais were launched. Congratulations to them, they showed a formidable efficiency, carried by an exceptional public. They really counted on the 16th man. When we go back to 30-30, we have the impression that we are better than them. But on one of the last possessions, Camille Lopez passes the drop goal of the victory.
The final stages? Oh dear, no. We should be 10th today. Castres passed us (both teams have 49 points, editor’s note). Let’s try to be already in the eight to be European”.
