The opportunity for the former soldier to share his knowledge of submission with the players of the French XV. And it was Toulouse Paul Costes, designated by Grégory Alldritt, who first paid the price. Under the hilarious eyes of the other members of the France group.
“I'm going to show you the rear choke and give you two or three details to be sure that our friend falls unconscious in less than five seconds,” says the man who is also called BSD. But to clarify: “It’s not going to happen, I’ll master the gesture, don’t worry.” “Yes, you do it well,” the “victim” then indicated.
In another sequence, this time it is around Uini Atonio to test the Saint-Denis method. Although the Rochelais argued that it would not walk on him, Benoît Saint Denis managed to make the colossus bend with just one arm. “Oh yeah, it’s not bad,” said the pillar. “I pressed a little, I didn’t put everything in,” nevertheless confessed the Nîmes man.
During his visit, Benoît Saint Denis was presented with a jersey autographed by the players by Blues captain Antoine Dupont.
