The fireworks continue at the Stade de France. Already largely dominant during the first act, the Blues got off to an equally spectacular start after returning from the locker room against Ireland, this Thursday at the opening of the Six Nations Tournament. Fullback Thomas Ramos went to the forefront to continue the festival.
On a ruck exit ensured by Antoine Dupont, the Toulouse man smelled the right move. He threw himself forward, but rather than grabbing the ball, he felt the start of Louis Bielle-Biarrey on his left. Ramos then drew an outside left foot perfectly off balance in the race of the left winger of Union Bordeaux-Bègles.
“LBB” took advantage of an advantageous rebound to accelerate. The hardest part was done. With his legs of fire, no one was able to stop him. He offers himself a double and already his 22nd try in 23 selections. He is only one unit away from the Top 10 best scorers in the history of the French XV. To wrap it all up, Ramos transformed (29-0, 47th).
