“We would have liked to show another face, that’s hard. However, we promised ourselves to have a great match, to have character. We would have liked to offer Posolo (
Tuilagi
) and Nolann (
Le Garrec
) a more festive first selection.
We are going to do everything so that there is a revolt next Saturday (
in Scotland
).
We're not used to losing like that, so of course it's a headache.
But now is not the time to find those responsible.
We have to protect ourselves.
It's still too complicated to talk about it.
On Monday, with a lot of kindness, we will have to tell ourselves the truths.
This is how we can move forward.
The Tournament is still long and I can tell you that the French team will fight until the end.
I think a lot of Paul (
Willemse
).
He is very sad.
He wanted to give a lot for this jersey.
We can’t blame a player who wants to give everything.”
