Arnaud Mela (coach of Brive, winner of Toulon 26-17): “Clermont’s victory sparked something about the mindset. This weekend, we went one step further. We didn’t want to expose ourselves at home. We really had the objective of winning the territory. We validate a lot of good things. We immediately put Toulon under pressure. We crushed a lot of black before, we passed on the positive. This is the third game where the bench brings a lot. We have just played three reference matches. We have to have a good month of January».
Julien Delannoy (second row from Brive): “That feels good. We believed in it, we stuck to the game plan. We were able to put the Toulon team under pressure, especially in conquest. We have really made progress on collective and individual control. We have to be careful not to overplay, but now we will look higher».
