“He has all the assets”, a former Blues fly-half amazed by Thomas Ramos

Satisfaction on the November tour, within the XV of France, we can count a certain number. Some players revealed themselves, others confirmed and showed Fabien Galthié that he was right to trust them. There is one unanimous consensus on this point: Thomas Ramos. Fabien Galthié already knows that he can count on the Toulouse player at the back but since the end of the 2024 6 Nations tournament, he can also prove valuable at the opening. To the point of putting a professional fly half like Matthieu Jalibert on the sidelines.

“A boy who stinks of rugby”

In the show “Mauls and Debates” from Rugbyrama, Thomas Ramos received a more than perfect score of “11 out of 10” from a player who has been in his place before, whether as fly-half, in the French team and even at Stade Toulousain: Yann Delaigue. The latter was amazed by the playing qualities but also the strong mentality of Thomas Ramos.

I would have even given it 11 out of 10 because it was so incredible. Not only is he a very good number 10 when he plays, but he is an excellent scorer, and that is important for the France team. But Thomas is a player who sees everything before everyone else. He has the technical ease to achieve all the things, he has his mentality, physically he is good… he has all the assets to play in this number 10 position. But he always has them in all positions.
He's a boy who reeks of rugby, I really enjoy watching him play. And the position of number 10 is not new to him either (…) Important deadlines with the 10 on his back, he knows how to play them and he proved it to us again during the November matches.
