During the resounding French victory against the All Blacks (30-29) on Saturday November 16, the Bordeaux player made his mark by scoring a try at the end of a memorable sprint.
It was a try that made the spectators at the Stade de France stand up, and many French people on their sofas. Like the emblematic ride of Kylian Mbappé against Argentina (4-3) during the 2018 World Cup, that of Louis Bielle-Biarrey against New Zealand (30-29) this Saturday, November 16 should remain in the annals of French sport.

Like the Madrilenian during the World Cup in Russia, the Bordeaux player also changed the course of the match thanks to a personal exploit. By dropping off Sevu Reece and Anton Lienert-Brown, the winger allowed the French XV to take the lead in the 50th minute.
A peak at 34.9 km/h
So, the comparison between the two French arrows necessarily comes to mind. This Monday, November 18, the official France Rugby account revealed that Louis Bielle-Biarrey had been “flashed” at 34.9 km/h. A lower score than Kylian Mbappé against Argentina? Not sure.

In 2018, shortly after France's victory, the first estimates suggested a sprint of 37 km/h for the former Parisian. A little later, Fifa reduced this speed to 32.4 km/h. Then, during Euro 2021, the footballer exploded his record against Germany, reaching 37.6 km/h.
