We suffered a lot and we are very disappointed with our performance. explain everything, because above all we suffered collectively. This is the first time this season that we have felt this feeling of helplessness, we have fallen back enormously without finding solutions to erase these errors. From an accounting point of view, it is We are 11th and we are very far from 6th place. We are also getting closer to 13th… There are still a lot of games to raise our heads and we absolutely have to win our next meeting and react against Perpignan.

Jean Bouilhou, assistant coach of Stade Toulousain: “I am very satisfied with the performance of my players, the guys attacked the game well and from the start, we created a lot of chances. I even think that we could have made one or two more. in the first half. I still put a little damper on our last 20 minutes, where we suffered but still managed to keep the bonus. We saw players invested this week despite a short week, but this championship is so hard that we will have to put the same intentions in our preparation before our trip to La Rochelle. We are ending this long series of defeats here, and we know that it is a performance, because Clermont remains a stronghold of rugby French and will soon go up the slope, because we must not forget that there were a lot of players missing on their side.”
