Fabrice Ribeyrolles, after the defeat of ASM Romagnat against Toulouse: “This penalty try is driving me crazy”
Fabrice Ribeyrolles was a little upset this Sunday after the match against Toulouse. Not so much because of the defeat of ASM Romagnat (12-14) as the scenario of the last minutes with a losing try which sealed the victory of the visitors and somewhat irritated the Auvergne coach.
Fabrice, what do you remember from this meeting?
“I’m sorry, but one person cannot decide the outcome on their own. Toulouse comes to us once and the referee awards a penalty try. When you see the efforts made for 70 minutes to maintain this score, a single person cannot influence the game so much. That’s what drives me crazy.
We did what was necessary in the engagement, even if I am also aware that we were not efficient enough in our launches on the conquest phases in touch with our two absent hookers. In fact, but it is not possible when a person decides the result and it is not the referee who must decide the score”.

premium Elite 1 Women: ASM Romagnat beaten on the wire by Toulouse (12-14)
What did you tell your players?
“I told the players that I was proud of their game with a state of mind that was what drove us last season. Afterwards, we have to work on our conquest, work on our launches and score when we have to score. (Editor’s note: he cuts off and then challenges Ophélie Gincourt to ask her what is happening on the action where the try is not granted. The player replies: “I flatten on the line before a defender goes under the ball and the referee only sees the end of the action”). We are on the right track, even if this outcome hurts.
“I will go and explain myself to the referee”
Fabrice Ribeyrolles (ASM Romagnat coach)
Were you sent off more angry than frustrated?
“Yes, because I see the investment of the players. In the second half, we are in the domination and in the camp of Toulouse. We expected a difficult match against a big team that defended well and when we are not rewarded when we did what was necessary, it hurts. I’m pissed off for the girls. We don’t go far. We have a busy infirmary with absent internationals and despite that we have a coherent and homogeneous group, with a great state of mind and who work well. We know that we are difficult with the workforce, but this group is interesting.
There is also this end of the first half where you lead (9-0) before taking a try.
“It’s Toulouse realism. It doesn’t take much for this team to score. A failed tackle and it’s a try behind. This try before halftime hurts because the score then goes to 9-7, but afterwards we managed correctly without having a great game either. It was clean. We did what was necessary in relation to the playing conditions. Despite everything, we are in the in-goal, but the try is not validated and that makes all the difference. But this penalty try is driving me crazy. I’m going to explain myself to the referee. I’m sick of it “.
