Christophe Urios (UBB) smashes his players, “it has the gift of inflating me”…

Christophe Urios, coach of Bordeaux-Bègles (beaten in Perpignan 22-15 and forced to go through the play-offs to hope to reach the semi-final): “We were not conquering, not efficient enough. It has the gift of inflating me. In our second half of the season, we don’t deserve the first two places. We are going to compete in the play-off, it is not what we wanted. I didn’t feel a team tonight. There will be a questioning, otherwise, we will quickly end the season. If we are not able to bite in this quarter-final, it is because we are not champions. I am very disappointed, and again, I will not say everything. If you want to be champion, you have to pass a course and I don’t feel it. I would like the players to go ahead, for the leaders to come out of the woodwork.»
