Christophe Urios, manager of Clermont, beaten by Stade Toulousain 14 to 48: “When you only defend against Toulouse, it’s very complicated… I found us extremely courageous, combative, strong but, today, we are not at the level of Toulouse. When their bench returned, and I’m not just talking about 9 (Antoine Dupont, Editor’s note), it made the difference. Little by little, we suffered, we gave up. We didn’t want to be stooges and that’s ultimately what came out of the match. There’s a big gap between us, but I didn’t wait until tonight to find out.”
