Pierre-Henry Broncan, the coach of Castres, after the victory against Toulouse: “We did not panic”
“What is your first hot reaction after this victory?
We are satisfied, already to go to the final, but also to get it after a successful match. We are happy but we have to quickly come back down to earth. We’re going to enjoy a little tonight because we’re staying put (in Nice) but we go back tomorrow to get back to training on Sunday with a final to prepare for on Friday.
“Now we are going to ask the League for a waiver to play the final in the South West (laughs) »
Are you worried after this start to the match where you are trailing 10-0?
Honestly, when we take the test after three minutes, I remember the first leg where we take 41-0. But I find that at that moment, in the end, we didn’t panic, we stayed in the game. It’s positive. It proves that we have evolved since that famous first leg. Benjamin (Urdapilleta) passes difficult difficulties to get us back to 10-6 and Thomas (Ramos, Toulouse striker) in a few fare. These matches are played for nothing, as usual.
Did we feel the desire to move the Toulouse team to this match?
Yes, we wanted to try to leave the ball in the field and make them run as much as possible. I think we gained confidence from the moment we were down 10-0 in our game and in our strategy. We had the ability to move the ball, we realized that we could put them at fault too. And little by little, the game changed. Now we will ask the League for a waiver to play the final in the South West (laughs). »
