An improbable action for a rather classic outcome. The selections follow one another and are similar for Louis Bielle-Biarrey. In just 23 caps with the XV of France, the left winger has already scored 21 tries. The 21st, the Bordeaux player went for it alone in the 13th minute of the opening match of the Six Nations Tournament against Ireland, this Thursday evening at the Stade de France.
After an Irish clearance worthy of a footballer’s volley, Nicolas Depoortere and Thomas Ramos restarted a tricolor action. Yoram Moefana then relayed to “LBB”. If the question of a forward pass could arise, the 22-year-old rocket did not.
After the start, he avoided a first tackle. The second came to tickle his ankles. Bielle-Biarrey lost his balance to the point of sliding on his knees on the sodden pitch of the Stade de France.
Not enough to allow the Clover players to catch up. A third tackler in the wind later, the UBB nugget was going to be flattened. Ramos transformed, the Blues were launched (7-0).
