Virgile Lacombe, after Toulouse’s victory in Montpellier: “We made a big commitment”
Virgile Lacombe, Toulouse forwards coach, after the victory in Montpellier on Sunday evening (17-19): “It’s a great satisfaction to win here. We put a big commitment there, we were able to hang on until the end but there is the negative point of indiscipline with this yellow card (Elstadt, 35th) and this red (Meafou, 80th). That’s a lot in a single match… It may come because we put too much commitment into it. All the players on the field deserved to be there, we are happy with the state of mind of the group.
We had lacked commitment in Pau two weeks ago (26-16) but there, we went looking for it by showing the strength of the group. We have no intention of dropping a game, our goal is to be competitive every weekend. Chief ? It has value no matter what time of the season (laughs). We now have to manage to keep this ability to take points away from home and that will allow us to continue to stay in the top six.
“It’s a reward for the whole group. »
Selevasio Tolofua, third-line center of Toulouse: “Everyone is talking about a revamped team but on is a group of 40 guys who send out during the week to play on weekends. It’s a reward for the whole group. It was a match to test the strength of the group and show that we can trust each other no matter who is on the field. When we commit, regardless of the players, we are rewarded. It’s a very good start to the season but we know that the rest is long. All matches are complicated today. »
