“Winning feels good. We are 4^e of the Top 14. It’s not an end in itself but there was a lot of tension around this match. It was important to break free. We were able to raise the slider. I appreciated the character of the group. This championship is a real battle. But the group has given itself a line of conduct and it sticks to it. There are three games left. »

Maxime Lucu (UBB scrum half)

“We showed a good state of mind, we didn’t give up, we were patient to break the lock, and it smiled at the end. When we got out of the top 6, we always wanted to come back. The defeat against La Rochelle had hurt a lot, we had stupidly lost to Racing… There, we had to respond. It was the last chance to give yourself the right to dream of qualifying. We are still here. This victory will count. »

Maxime Lamothe (UBB hooker)

“At the moment, it wasn’t going too well in our favor. It’s good to see that hard work pays off. After last week’s poor performance, we were able to pull ourselves together. We were frustrated with the scenario of the match. Tonight, in the desire, the state of mind, we were irreproachable. We always feel better in the top 6 but we know that we can get out of it quickly. The goal will be to stay there as long as possible.
