Facing the press, Anthony Dupontwho has faced a lot of criticism since his return from the World Cup, analyzed the strengths of Harlequins. “To win, we will need a certain level of play and consistency throughout the match, that’s for sure, when we see their match against Racing 92 (28-31 success, Editor’s note) and even in their championship since some time. Offensively, it’s a very dangerous team, with a lot of strengths, everywhere on the field. They have a style of play that they master perfectly. We are aware of the task facing us to recover a success there. We will have to raise our game in all sectors, globally.”

Fatalist, Ugo Mola did not want to sound the alarm. “These are our problems, but those of all the clubs encountered in key moments, particularly in winter with a lot of glitches and injuries.
