Propelled into touch at the end of his advance, the number 9 however managed to find Juan-Cruz Mallia at his height, before returning to participate in the action a few seconds later. Here again, he managed to find the gap between two opponents before giving to the Argentinian, shortly before Thibaud Flament flattened behind the line.
