Morgan Parra (scrum half from Clermont, after the victory over LOU 26 to 18): “It’s not very nice but it’s won. We came across a big team from Lyon in defense, which put us under pressure. I think we played too much and we could have occupied the field a little more at times. But that is also our strength and allows us to mark this second try which is good. Everyone stayed in the game despite Lyon coming back at the end. ”
Franck Azéma (Clermont coach): “It was tough tonight and it’s good for the confidence to beat a team with which we are neck and neck. In addition, Lyon does not bring anything back, that’s good. It was intense in the collisions and Lyon contested well all the time in the rucks. There was less volume of play but more character and intensity. I’m happy with the group on this. We have boys like Raka capable of breaking through a big defensive curtain. Little by little, the work of undermining paid off and the defense opened. ”
