Xavier Garbajosa cautious before the trip to Toulouse
Zapping World Fifteen “I’ve come a long way”, Mathieu Bastareaud revels after his comeback
For LOU Rugby, the takeover was at full speed with the reception of the current leader, Stade Toulousain. A shock at the top of the table which concludes the 11th day of Pro D2.
Xavier Garbajosa’s team will have to do without some important players, like Josua Tuisova who is out for a month, but for Toulouse will not be favored, quite the contrary, with internationals also absent. The Lyon manager knows, however, that with or without his best elements, Toulouse remains a very dangerous armada.
“To host Toulouse remains an important and special match for any rugby player, because it is the best team in France with the best players”, said the coach at a press conference. Despite everything, Lyon has weapons to put forward. After all, the LOU is not 5th in the standings for no reason. Xavier Garbajosa therefore wants his players to focus on their own strengths, to avoid watching Toulouse play.
Again, we try to focus on us. It’s the most important thing to know what we want to do on the pitch (…) We will first have to compete, and respond with the commitment, investment and aggressiveness that the Toulouse people will offer us.
Verdict Sunday evening.
to summarize
For LOU Rugby, the takeover was at full speed with the reception of the current leader, Stade Toulousain. Xavier Garbajosa does not want his team to be trapped by a Toulouse team that will be diminished.
