The captain of Stade Rochelais is fed up with ideas he considers far-fetched, to supposedly modernize Rugby.
Grégory Alldritt does not understand the introduction of the 20-minute red card for certain offenses, which will allow teams to bring in a player after this period of time following an expulsion. This new arrangement will be tested during the November tour and the vice-captain of the XV of France (behind Antoine Dupont) does not agree at all: “I think it’s an aberration. Rugby is still a magnificent sport and it is better to concentrate on the existing rules, that they are well refereed and well executed by the players And stop distorting this sport too much But we will adapt to it, what do you want me to tell you. …”
“We don’t like to be thought of as blowjobs”
In the meantime, it is with La Rochelle that the international third row is expected this weekend, for the big shock on Sunday evening against Union Bordeaux-Bègles at the conclusion of the seventh day of Top 14. The champions of Europe 2022 and 2023 were slapped in the face in Bayonne last week (37-7) and the La Rochelle captain, ultimately, “loves” what is happening: “It’s only the beginning of October. We are men, We’re going to raise our heads and fire, it’s just a bonus. We’re third and we’re almost talking about a crisis, it’s perfect, it shows that we have ambition!
Grégory Alldritt, however, confirms that he did not at all like what happened to Jean-Dauger: “We don’t like to come across as blowjobs in front of our supporters, so it’s up to us to make sure that we rectify that on Sunday.” President Vincent Merling quickly came to raise the group’s straps, but the symbolic player of Stade Rochelais assures that it was not even necessary: ”We are upset and all concerned, besides it is the luck of this group, there is no ball who would be there just to enjoy the city we are all here to win trophies I assure you that at the start of the week, there were not many smiles.
