On the one hand, frustration, a rest of bitterness and, no doubt, an exaggeration zest. On the other, a manhandled ego, a flouted pride, and an astonishing feeling of omnipotence. In other words, a professional rugby player, Fred Quercy, pinning the coach of the XV of France Fabien Galkié then undergoing his wrath within the undermanship.
And all around, a freedom of speech that no longer seems to go without saying and institutions operating as authoritarian regimes of another age. The Quercy affair as one could designate it returns a disturbed image of French rugby and suggests that under the gold of this oval republic which constantly praises its virtues and its values, the small arrangements and the abuses of power have not necessarily disappeared.
