Peyo Muscardtz (Bayonne captain, beaten in Montpellier): “There is clearly disappointment. We had the cards in hand before the match, during the match, again at the end of the match. It is a heavy blow to bear. We had the opportunity to fold history. We’ve been fighting for so long, we’ve been talking about maintenance, but each time, we’re missing a detail. Today was in the brand area. Against Bordeaux, we had been dominated everywhere. In view of the energy deployed, we could have hoped for better. Fail to four points, that certainly gives us a defensive bonus point, but we had done everything to defeat this team from Montpellier. We had certainties. But we did not know how to score, there is a feeling of incomplete with all the blows we had in the thirty meters. We now have to digest the disappointment, and concentrate all our strength, keeping our mind focused on next weekend’s game. Montpellier is saved, I do not know in what state of mind they will go to Pau, while the Stadium is playing for qualification, and is rather in good shape. We won’t escape. “

Arnaud Duputs (third line of Bayonne): “It’s hard. Frankly, I want to compare it to a war. We didn’t get out. We put a lot of intensity. We have a team made to rebel. It’s going to be hard, but we know we can get up. What hurts is that while some areas have worked well, others much less. The problem is in the brand area. This is an area where we still have not settled. We knew that we had two or three games left to ensure maintenance, and that we had to win as quickly as possible. We checked off this match. We also checked the one for next week. “

Antoine Battut (Bayonne coach): “I understand that the players are shot down after the battle they have fought. We missed this opportunity, we must quickly switch to the rest. I have mixed feelings. There is a lot of positive, but I’m not going to dwell on that. There is also the lack of realism in the branded areas. Let’s see the glass half full. And let’s focus on next week’s game. “
