Geoffrey Lanne-Petit (coach of the Section Paloise, severely beaten Friday in Toulouse, 31-9): “It’s a huge disappointment. I am really disappointed, you can rate it! We lacked everything to give ourselves the hope of existing. We need to grow, more maturity. If one day we want to exist in the Top 14, it will be necessary to chain two performances, it is a strict minimum. I’m tough on my team, but in our situation, with 10 games still to play, we have to give a different image, respect what we said to ourselves when we took over the ship two months ago. I am tough, but I find that I am mostly lucid. When you make a copy like that, it’s terrible. If you want to save yourself in the Top 14, it’s not the world of Care Bears, you have to be able to see things in the face. “

Ugo Mola, Stade Toulousain coach: “From an accounting perspective, the evening is very positive, in a trap period, in our first series of duplicates. In terms of rugby, the first period was interesting in terms of defensive solidarity, our ability to play with little ammunition. Unfortunately, we then fall into a false rhythm with an inability to get our hands on the ball in the second half. We fall a bit into the trap of a catchy team, with a good counter in touch.

We felt like we could score a lot more. We knew we would lack a bit of connections and habits to be more killers. But in order not to take a test against a Pau team which is rather interesting offensively and which had marked this match to come and make a blow here, it is that we answered present. We had to do a clean replay match, with a lot of new blood and comeback in our pack of forwards. “
