“Losing a semi-final is terrible”, judge Péméja (Nevers)

Xavier Péméja (manager of Nevers, beaten 26-15 at Mont-de-Marsan): “I’m disappointed, losing a semi-final is terrible. We feel that there will be a rocking on the last twenty minutes, it is for them, it is like that. We are approaching the line, we have chances to score, at least one penalty, but we were a little imprecise. We did not manage to put long enough sequences of play, we made mistakes on balls carried, that never happens to us, and it happens to us today. If we go ahead, it puts them in doubt, we have chances but we didn’t succeed, it’s a bit the turning point of the match. Afterwards, we are still trailing quite a bit in the first half. The score is a little wide.
