Ronan O'Gara, coach of La Rochelle, beaten 19-17 at Oyonnax: “Rugby is a combat sport, especially when we go to Oyonnax. Oyonnax was playing for his life, but for us, it is not possible to play such a match away. We were aggressive, but we lacked precision all afternoon. We made stupid mistakes, committed forwards, had poor kicking, incorrect touches, a pulverized scrum, we weren't able to get the game going... This period is very enriching for Me. I learned a lot, and I had more unpleasant surprises than I expected. I don't put the responsibility on the players because it is above all mine. We need to revolt quickly. We are capable of it. Something has to change quickly and I hope it’s not the coach.”
