Mas warns wounded Perpignan must vent fury on Saints

PERPIGNAN captain Nicolas Mas has insisted that his team must bounce back from last weekend’s catastrophic loss against Benetton Treviso with a big performance against Northampton Saints at Stade Aime Giral tonight.

Saturday’s 8-9 reverse for the French champions against the Italian side was one of the biggest shocks in the competition’s 15-year history, and it has left the Catalan side with a mountain to climb if they are to qualify for the knockout stages.

Mas conceded that only a big performance against the Saints would suffice but he admitted it had been a difficult week.
