We do not fully measure, it will come little by little,
savors the Grenoble player.
It's a feat, it's beautiful.
With all due respect to Wales, which is such a great rugby nation, this is a special win.
This is the result of the work of the last few weeks.
The results did not go in our direction but the benefits were good.
Against France (10-37), we had performed well in defense for a long time.
Against Scotland (22-33), we found our marks offensively.
Today we simply managed to bring all the elements together.
We were clean in all areas of the game
.
But Capuozzo assures that his team will not stop there: “
The main objective of this team that we are building is to earn the respect of the world of rugby.
It is very important to show that we are not a dead nation.
We must not forget that we are playing in this Tournament against the best nations in the world, the other five nations are in the world Top 8.
We don't have excessive goals but we are trying to earn this respect and this victory goes in this direction.
My future?
I'll let the clubs talk about it...
