«This is not obvious, says Baptiste Serin on the microphone of Canal+. I’m proud of what we showed on the pitch tonight. We played against a team that is used to playing together. It was really difficult. We were -11 at half-time but we found the energy we needed. It’s hard to find the words but I’m very happy for the youngsters and the new players. Some things will never be the same again. I want to remember what happened on the green square, what we could control. There are a lot of emotions tonight. It’s a whole.»
A few minutes later, Théo Attisogbe also spoke. The young three-quarter scored his second try in two games. “C‘is pretty cool (to register this second test) but it’s a collective feeling that runs through us, and disappointment after this defeat against this Argentina team. A slightly more complicated week. We tried to stand up to it, to prepare for the match as best we could. The group has tightened up a lot, to a point that I didn’t imagine.»
