Player reaction:
Taweera Care Barlow, 1/2 Scrum:“After Gloucester we knew we had to play a lot better against Saracens. We managed to handle that meeting better. We got off to a good start, finish 24 to 10, it’s great, we’re going to play our third Champions Cup final and a half in a row, that’s great.” “.
Attacking coach Roman Carmenani: “We don’t really realize that going through again in the 1/2 final. We dreaded this Saracens team, and here we go… We had a state of mind to get it through, and we’d have to keep it for Exeter at the end of the month.” Regarding William Skelton out on a stretcher, what I can say is he’s fine. He was standing in the locker room with us at the end. You must continue
** Reda Wardi: “** These are moments that will remain engraved forever. We must not underestimate this kind of victory against a top European team. To go to Bordeaux in the semi-final against Exeter with thousands of La Rochelle supporters in the stands, it will be fantastic.”
