Scapular Rugby – Gilles Destribats: “He didn't play scrum half, because otherwise he kept all the balls”

Asked by France Blue Gironde, Gilles Destribatsone of the first educators of our scrum half, Yann Lesgourguesin Ondres, returned to the beginnings of the latter: “ I am one of his first trainers, I accompanied him for a long time, up to the cadets, until he left for the BO. His whole class was well behaved. They were quick guys on the field, but off the field, they were cute. As long as I knew him, he was cute, but I still see him a little and he still seems very wise. On the other hand, he didn't play scrum half, because otherwise he kept all the balls. We put him a little further away, on the wing, but he still had balls because his friends were very nice to him. He had canes, he had to use them. He touched a lot of balls and scored a lot of tries. At this age, we also had to slow them down because they love kicking. We tried not to make them play too much with the foot and to make them play with the hand. Maybe it was a mistake, although I see he uses his foot quite a bit now« .
