In an interview to Monde.fr Thursday, the RC Toulon center Mathieu Bastareaud has not escaped the issue of the disastrous course France team World Cup. For him, this failure is primarily a collective failure.
Substitute the start of the quarter-final against New Zealand, Bastareaud nevertheless he too was blown away by the power of his opponents and devastated by the gulf between the France team of the other major rugby nations. Without loading your coach to & lt; em & gt; lemonde.fr & lt; / em & gt ;, it attempts to explain the reasons for this failure. . Extracts
Review the elimination of the Blues against New Zealand:
The quarterfinal
“This defeat was a difficult time explaining how The main reason, I know.?: there were the Blacks in the face, just huge waves We took in the head, it was like an endless game. . As if, once you lose a ball, we would take a test of 60 meters . It was nice to have prepared all week for a feat, mentally, it was still difficult. “
The balance
“Anyway, I had the feeling that only thirty-one players and staff believed it. After Of course, it is true that we did not give the public reason to believe in us. We felt a rocking after the first defeat against Ireland. Until then, it felt a fervor, a craze, then we lost the first match, and then boom! everything has been questioned … To say that we, as players, we wanted to “turn” Philippe Saint-André to prepare the quarter final against New Zealand? Well no. The article insinuated that information was completely wrong, sorry . It was just put our responsibilities, we simply said, “Philip can say what he wants, if we do not go into rucks, it will not go in our place. “But nothing more.” “(…) If there is a failure, I think it comes from everyone, players and staff, not only of Philippe Saint-André. We, the players, I think we should have more to say manifest what we thought of the situation. We especially suffered. I must say that, at some level, when you express things, you are not necessarily rewarded … No, what is happening on the ground was not pretty. No, we can not really say we feasted ourselves. Anyway, all these remarks about how we wanted to play, we had three years to make Philip. It’s always easy to talk afterwards. It’s always easy to say that I would have preferred to play otherwise, I would rather have the freedom to play rugby, just, rather than be instructed to attack the opponent’s area and 10 number of attract a maximum of opponents on me. “
The Future
Now each must take responsibility. In recent days, some commentators n ‘more than two words in his mouth:. Federal Contractors If I understood, the idea would be that all the players of the XV of France abandon their clubs to sign contracts with the national team I do not know. what to think, but I think that, obviously, this situation could place the player cantilever. You choose to stay in the club? Farewell to the France team. You choose to play for France? Farewell to the club where you may have spent ten years, farewell the city where you can be your whole family. If someone has the magic bullet, it manifests … To believe more sources or less benevolent, I’m not too correspondrais the canons of Guy Noves [the successor to Philippe Saint-André]. I’ll do anything to disabuse “
