The English right-hander only spent around ten minutes on the pitch before coming out injured, visibly in his right leg. He seemed to have found the key to stabilizing the Tarn scrum, which had been suffering until then.
Caramba, no luck for the CO! We do not know, in truth, what would have happened to this meeting, ultimately lost by the Olympic Castres, if Will Collier had been able to carry out the mission which was his when he entered the pitch at mid -time of this match against UBB. But it is clear that during the ten minutes spent by Will Collier on the pitch at Pierre-Fabre, we had the impression, as in a dream, that everything was going smoothly. little better for the Blue and White and that, perhaps, they would get out of the quagmire in which they had been entangled for a good half-time already.
The powerful English right-hander had apparently found the key to stabilizing the Castres edifice, hitherto hampered by his Gironde counterpart. Came into play at half-time to replace Levan Chilachava who was unable to imposing himself against his opposite Ugo Boniface, the international of the XV of the Rose (two selections) knew at least how to balance the first scrum he had to play and obtain a penalty in favor of his team on the second. The problem? It is that this act of bravery was his last of the game. The said second scrum collapsed on the Englishman and caused him an injury to his leg, possibly his right calf, forcing him to leave the pitch less than ten minutes after entering it, supported by a trainer. Coincidence or not, the return to the game of Levan Chilachava, who had to play almost 70 minutes, coincided with the resumption of power of the UBB in this sector of play.
After the defeat, the first of the season at home, the injury of the colossus from across the Channel is certainly the second bad news of the Castres night. His name adds to the already too long list of those who occupy the benches of the Tarn infirmary at a time when deadlines are becoming clearer…
