Quote ="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Catalans were without star scrum half and playmaker Scott Dureau, second rower Louis Anderson, props Julian Bousquet and Olivier Elima, and powerful centres Vincent Duport , Darryl Millard and Steve Menzies. Their presence would likely have changed the result.
Nevertheless well done to Huddersfield. The team scraped in against a severely weakend French side and won the points fair and square. We look forward to a full strength matchup in the return game later this year.'"
Hudds had strong regular performers out with injury as well as Cats. Plus Hudds played with 12 men.
"...scraped in against a severely weakened French side...."
Right oh, if it makes you feel any better, we'll go with that.
