Buros (Bordeaux-Bègles) after the defeat against Stade Français: “We spend a lot of energy for nothing”

Romain Buros, Bordeaux player, after the 6-12 defeat against Stade Français : “It’s like that, the group makes the effort, spends a lot of energy but our rugby is not excellent, and it does not allow us to score. We missed a lot of chances. A try is worth 5 points, and a converted try is 7 points. We will watch the match on video. It’s hard to judge on the fly. We create opportunities. This ping-pong, we have mastered it for quite some time, it allowed us to win at La Rochelle and against Montpellier, but we have to hold the ball longer. We were sterile. The choice to play by hand on the last action is good, but we do not score, the pass does not reach its recipient. We spend a lot of energy for nothing. »

Mahamadou Diaby, Bordeaux player: “There are bound to be regrets. We have a last possession in the 80th minute, five meters from their line and we do not score. We have several opportunities to kill the match, we don’t do it, either by missing points on foot, or because we are not good at winning, in touch near the lines, in particular. Something is missing, you have to be clinical in key moments. We only take one point in two matches. It’s hard and frustrating. These are matches that we can win, but we have just played three matches without a try, which reflects a problem of efficiency. »
