The Vannetais, defeated shortly (16-13) during this 11th day of Pro D2, return from Mont-de-Marsan with a new point in the wallet. A defensive bonus won hard, and well deserved in the light of the Breton benefit.
Jean-Noël Spitzer (RC Vannes): "I thought we would lose everything in the end, we lose the pitch and we do not defend a ball carried behind, but the coaching on the last scrum makes us feel good, We have the bonus and I think it's deserved throughout the match We were looking for what we found tonight We wanted to find solutions without some players who had played every game, raise other players like Clément (Payen) coming back from a succession of wounds, we came in our little shoes but we worked all the week with a lot of excitement, there was a good working atmosphere. could have exploded in the first half if they had put their chances at the bottom, but we caught on, the half-time did us good, allowed us to sort things out. period, we managed to lead, we made the choice to stay in the defensive bonus. ulator but the championship is long, and that's a point. This result, I do not think we would have achieved, or that we would have done better, with another team compo. "
Rémi Picquette (RC Vannes): "I'm happy with the performance of the team, we know that few teams come to get points here, after we can always do better, we miss this last touch to the 74th, they are small details that can make us more powerful, but it was a good match, we had the desire, and it felt on the ground.We are happy with the point, we did everything to ensure it even if ten minutes from the end we said we could almost hope better.But the scenario of the match is that 5 minutes from the end we end up in our 22, so this point is even more deserved . "
Christophe Laussucq (manager Mont-de-Marsan): "Vannes is a team in a position to qualify, they are eighth in the British standings, I said all week that it was a good team, catchy. time we could have cracked them, but they were opportunistic.I must stop believing that because our name is Mont-de-Marsan our opponents will come in underwear.I said this week that even when they were doing It was a great, efficient team, maybe we need to stop seeing ourselves more beautiful than we are, and especially stop underestimating the kind of team that works and progresses. and I'm happy to beat them in. In the second half we put pressure, their test is a little hurt. "
