Virgil Lacombe (Toulouse assistant coach): “If we are unplayable? No, I won’t go that far ”
Virgil Lacombe after Toulouse’s victory in Biarritz (17-11) : “ It is a good chose to regain outside. Especially in a context of a somewhat difficult match, with the red card from Joe Tekori at the end. It’s good that we manage to hang on and keep the victory. In the first half, we ” break ” a lot but we do not finish our opportunities. Fortunately, we arrive with more pace and volume of play at the start of the second half and we manage to score. So much the better, because after that we still have a slump that can really take us away from victory. We had made the choice to put a big bench and also to rest the frames of players who had chained the first four games. They all have a good comeback, but the team that started held the score as well. Five wins in five matches, when the offseason was short, that’s good. After the six week vacation, the players came back with the intention of winning the games, which is great for us. If we’re unplayable? No, I won’t go that far because there is still a lot of waste in our game, we found ourselves in danger several times during the match, especially because of our discipline. Fortunately, our defense on the balls carried did us good. “
