Expected to start with the XV of France this Saturday against Japan, winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey returned to his recent and rapid change of status with the Blues.
In no time, Louis Bielle-Biarrey's career took off. Indeed, after great performances with Bordeaux-Bègles in the Top 14 and in the Champions Cup, the 21-year-old winger or fullback logically took his first steps with the French XV. Here again, the player trained in Grenoble did not take long to get everyone to agree. Between the 2023 World Cup and the 6 Nations Tournament in 2024, the latter has had a string of good performances. A few days before the start of the fall tour, “LBB” recently spoke about its change of status. “ A lot has happened for me in the last year. I have grown a lot. My status may indeed have evolved after playing in the World Cup and the 6 Nations Tournament but my way of being remains the same,” explained the man who should start this Saturday against Japan.
Bielle-Biarrey: “I want to remain unpredictable”
“Despite everything, I am trying to gradually take a little more place in the team, more leadership as the club and selection coaches ask of me. I like it. (…) I know I'm expected a lot more. We begin to know my strengths and my weaknesses. When you start, you're young, with a certain enthusiasm, and you surprise everyone a little. But after several seasons, it may be more complicated to differentiate. I want to remain unpredictable and manage to constantly reinvent myself – especially when things are going a little less well – to stay at the highest level for a long time.Bielle-Biarrey subsequently declared, during an interview with L’Equipe. The challenge is exciting. If I do the same thing all the time from the age of 18 until the end of my career, I will be quite readable and inevitably at some point it will no longer work. »
