Guy Novès (general manager of Toulouse): “I remember with pride the two reactions we had when we were done with the last ten minutes from time. We have a beautiful spirit, a fierce desire to win and that's what makes us tick. In the end the victory is difficult but it is all the more valuable even if it's a shame they have left the defensive bonus point. It will take at least the same performance at home. We will continue to grow week after week and automation will be implemented. All is not well established, but what is it the will of the players not to let go and continue living in this competition too. We are not happy but we are happy. “

Yannick Nyanga (third row and captain of Toulouse):” We would be less afraid and this is less complicated, but a win like this shows our moral values. We should have “killed” the game early and we have several opportunities to do so in the second half but it was not until the last ten minutes. Tonight, we must remember the victory, the state of mind and our will in the first half against the wind. Now, we must also work as Gloucester took a defensive bonus point that can be decisive and go do something Connacht. Tonight we won in 23 with the likes of Romain Millo-Chluski, returning from a World Cup final and, more than 30 years, still shows great energy. “

Yann David (center of Toulouse): “We won with our solidarity and our realism at the right time, in spite of the approximations and great fears over the two periods. Today it paid off, great. There was a lack of realism and we failed to realize our good deeds. I am satisfied with the result but we will try to work as much as possible to make a good result in Connacht, next week. If everything was not perfect, we met a few good things that we can analyze this week. “

Timoci Matanavou (of Toulouse winger):” A test for my debut in Cup Europe is good, but the victory is more important. Before the test, I made a sign to Luke (McAlisteer) that I had nobody in front of me. His kick was perfect and I scored. The Cup debut in Europe are hard even if I did good things for the team and I'm happy. I knew it would be difficult, there is more speed, more physical and you have to be more disciplined. We are happy to have won but it was just. “

Romain Millo-Chluski (second line of Toulouse):” It happens to build movements that put the opponent in trouble, but our last moments brand in the area are not always realized. There are still things to correct the work to be done for the trip to Connacht. The victory is precious, we will be satisfied of that tonight. The strength of this group is to never disunite, to believe in its means. It is believed this and eventually pass, but it will be more consistency than this game. “

Yohan Maestri (second line of Toulouse):” This is a difficult victory as have been the last we got. Be careful because we will not succeed every time to return to score even if it's good to know that we have a big heart (smile). We expected this kind of game against a great team of Gloucester. We are very pleased to be imposed under difficult conditions because the wind has complicated matters for both teams. The most important thing was to take four points even if they leave their defensive bonus point. “
