Top 14 – notes – Racing 92: Baptiste Chouzenoux omnipresent, Josua Tuisova discreet

To overcome Racing 92 (32-15), Aviron Bayonnais was able to count on a great Baptiste Chouzenoux, very good in touch and in running play. In the three-quarters, Mateo Carreras was much better than his opposite number, Josua Tuisova.

The tops

He was expected on the sidelines facing his former teammates. He fully fulfilled his mission with two stolen balls (9th, 23rd). In the current game, we saw him carry the ball several times to the outside with long runs (a crossing, a broken tackle). In defense, he was effective (seven tackles, all successful). A very clean match for the third wing line, who was not sure of participating in the match, because he is waiting for a happy event.

He scored a try on a skipped pass from Camille Lopez (57th), but his speed did not stop there. We saw him carry the ball effectively relying on his hooks. He is not far from opening the scoring (10th) in an action where he erases Antoine Gibert and Josua Tuisova before being caught by Nolan Le Garrec. Did he not see Maxime Machenaud on his left? The Bayonnais will not take this into account too much, because he has often offered himself in attack (eleven races, three broken tackles).

The flops

Where has the super-powerful Fijian gone? At Jean Dauger, Saturday afternoon, the winger was only a shadow of himself. Very discreet with the ball in hand (only five races with the ball and one missed tackle) he hardly had any impact on the match. Within a team in difficulty, he never put his partners forward and suffered from the comparison with his opposite number Mateo Carreras, very good on the left wing. On defense, Tuisova missed four tackles. It’s way too much for a player of this caliber.

The Racing touchline was not the most efficient and the Ile-de- hooker Feleti Kaitu’u experienced some waste in this sector. He had three throws blocked (9th, 23rd, 29th), was penalized for an incorrect touch (48th) and his throw for Maxime Baudonne (40th) was too long. In addition to the inaccuracies in conquest, the Australian was penalized twice in the running game. First on an action where he crawls on the ground, while Racing is only five meters from the opposing goal (18th). Then on a counter ruck from Tevita Tatafu where he does not let go of the ball (21st).
