RUGBY The test of gaining Médard capped an intensive sequence of domination tricolor melee …
Until then, it was much like the France-Ireland world Cup final. Too many deaths among the Greens, too few balloons at the Blues, and the impression that the matter escaped us with regular, as usual. And then the miracle. A highlight ten great minutes and especially a series of shelling melee before the liberating test Médard first hand. “We had the memory of what the World match where they had been physically dominant but where that was not enough, summarizes the Maestri captain. We thought it was absolutely necessary to recover from the intensity if you did not experience the same thing. ” Making of the action
& gt;. & Gt; The match to relive live as-to-the-house here
Step 1: pénaltouche rather than the penalty
blues have already made the round trip to the green line two and three points behind the arm to Plisson, almost a penalty under the posts granted by Jaco Peyper. But for once, Guy Noves does not require the 3 points from the podium. “I told the captain that I can take it, but the coaches wanted the penaltouche, details Plisson”. Dubois, the court Noves relay confirms. “We were in a time when we took over, I think it was the right choice, the players were in the same spirit.” It left for the bombing
Step 2. Chouly tries to go Strength
After a good prose into touch and a maul little messy, the french Front arrive to straighten the action in the center of the Irish defense. Damien Chouly tried his luck after a series of charges of mammoths. He crossed the line but Peyper, who can not be accused of not wet the shirt to see the ball, do not give the test after consulting the video. “I was sure I had good flat but the referee did not agree, Chouly laughs. Fortunately the fray after us win the game “
. Step 3: Spin the opposing pack
Already a pretty nice place in first half -time, the French scrum just been reinforced by Slimani and Ben Arous, the two pillars holding a bit disappointing against Italy the previous week. It’s time for revenge. Once, twice, three times, four times, Ireland is squashed melee without ever South African referee does not deign to put his nut in his mouth. “I thought they would take a box and it would be simpler to 14,” Dubois plague. “We felt we got the upper hand, when the” big two “have returned, I thought this is good, this is the third layer,” reassures Plisson.
step 4: in praise of patience
no card, no penalty, and the unpleasant feeling that all this will end badly. Bonneval slightly starts to stress the wing. “You look at the clock, you know that time passes and you say you got you less and less time to pass.” Same for Plisson, watching his forwards to kill the task without result. “As we beating up the melee, we felt an arch full stadium behind us. When you hear 80,000 people stand up and scream like that, then sing the Marseillaise, you think “We need to make, no way. ‘”
step 5: Médard, release
the Blues that could end the coup sooner had they played off before the first scrum, have the intelligence not to persist to seek testing penalty we still expect Sunday. Machenaud decides to serve the Toulouse back that makes up an average match by passing the hook thing. “I got up, I saw Max in the in-goal, I was happy,” says Slimani. As often, the battle did the job for others. Les Bleus hold up until the end and gather round to end the game. Maestri remains modest. “At the end, it was emotionally hard, we had in mind a lot of painful episodes against this team. It’s been five years since we expected that. ” We also
