AT. This is just incredible, exactly what I came to  France for, to play rugby in front of a stadium packed to the gunnels with an electric atmosphere this is just unbelievable, the crowd was behind us all the way, this is going to take some getting used to, is it always like this ? Today I am a very proud man to be standing here, this could be the adventure of a lifetime and I am eternally grateful to Montpellier for giving me this chance, now I have to prove to the club that they have made the right choice.

 

 

AT. Yes just how lucky am I, this is possibly the best start in the world that I could have had and at this moment I am probably the luckiest man in the world. The victory fantastic, but a team effort which would not have been possible without everyone pulling together in the same direction, the boys showed tremendous courage in defence and tackled like men possessed it is now up to me to grab my chance with both hands there are some excellent back row players in this club and I am going to have to work very hard to get myself a spot in this team.
