Brice Dulin on the Irish Loss
France back Brice Dulin has opened up on the emotions within the squad after their loss to Ireland.
"We hate losing so it’s hard, especially when playing the way we did. The match against Ireland was a bit like our joker, the result is upsetting and frustrating but it’s time to move on,” Dulin said.
That defeat has set up a quarter-final with New Zealand for France, a big challenge that the Racing 92 back is prepared for.
“We’ll use all possible means to play a great match. It’s a huge mountain to climb for us, but we have what it takes to reach the top of it,” he added.
"We know that it will be a really hard thing to do, but impossible is nothing.”
“What we show in terms of rugby will be important against the All Blacks, but the heart we will put into it, and our mental strength, that’s what will make us be great against them. We’ll need the necessary toughness and anger to be at our best.”
