MHR

Joan Caudullo, MHR manager : “How I found the players ? I found them not too bad. It's their victory. When you have an outpouring of energy of that standard… It was complicated to reproach them for something. They've been waiting for this for a long time.

I feel like this could be the start of something, but I don't want to get carried away. We heard a lot that we were going to have five defeats right from the start. Today, we have a victory. We've been working hard for two months, we've paid ourselves.

The fundamentals, that's what I would like us to put forward, it's our DNA. We work a lot on that, starting with the youth.  The defense, I take my hat off to. We have a lot of coaches and a lot of inexperience. But Doumayrou has done a lot of work over the last two months. The players have shown that they are committed, against a team like Perpignan. Hats off to everyone."

Thomas Darmon, MHR center: "It feels good. We found ourselves again, we were keen to react. It's done. On the state of mind, I have nothing to say. Everyone played the game. We said it to each other before the match. Words are good. There had to be actions.

What did we say to each other ? That we loved each other, that we got along well together. But we had to show it on the field. I think we saw it. Everyone was concerned. Defense is the basis of our sport. We worked on it all week. We must highlight the enormous work of the forwards."

Perpignan

Franck Azema, manager of Usap : "It hurts, we were beaten for more than 80 minutes. I am ashamed. Well done to Montpellier. They constantly beat us. Every collision, every scrum is lost. In all the static phases, we are dominated. Territory, possession, touches… We came up against someone better than us. When there are so many shortcomings, I take it personally. I must be talking too much nonsense for us to find ourselves in a situation like this. Today, we were poor in everything that represents the identity of our club. The ferocity put into the commitment was Montpellier-like."

Jeronimo De La Fuente (center and captain of Usap) : "There is nothing positive today. Before the match, we were not in place. There are things that happened in the team that I cannot say here. But I have confidence in this group to react.”
