Géraud Gas: Work-wise and family-wise, everything's fine. However, rugby-wise, I'm frustrated. The team I coach, the SA Verdun seniors (Meuse), failed to stay in the Fédérale 3. But that's not an end in itself; we're going to rebuild a project. It must be said that the task was difficult: the two clubs that finished first in our group had a budget... six times larger than ours! The problem is that in our area, business leaders aren't really interested in rugby and prefer to sponsor handball, football, or basketball clubs.
