France – New Zealand: “The good rebound, I don’t often have it”… Louis Bielle-Biarrey recounts his attempt at the end of a totally crazy sprint

Louis Bielle-Biarrey is a young man in a hurry, and he demonstrated it again this Saturday on the lawn of the Dyonisian enclosure. At the age of 21, the Union Bordeaux-Bègles winger was one of the great architects of the success of the Blues against the All Blacks (30-29) by multiplying the races. Including one, fatal for the New Zealanders, in the 51st minute of play to allow the Tricolores to regain the advantage with a quick try.

The ninth, already, in the space of 13 selections for the original Isérois, who confided to having been somewhat ill after the meeting. But scoring against New Zealand necessarily has a special flavor for someone who had already scored a double the previous week against Japan.

After the match, Louis Bielle-Biarrey returned to his crazy race by dissecting the action which led to the try: “We recover the ball on a good defense, they make a forward and Thomas Ramos recovers the ball, he sees that there is space behind, I try to tell him, I don't know if he hears me and then he puts it on me, I try to run and go as fast as possible and It worked so I’m very happy.”

However, the person concerned confides that he did not shout “victory” too early in his head. “I just had one fear at the end, it was having the right rebound knowing that I don't have it often, that showed a little at the end of the match (laughs)”, laughs Louis-Bielle-Biarrey, who adds that in the heat of the action, “we don't hear anything at all” while an entire stadium was growing behind him.

A spectator, at the forefront of the acceleration, Thibaud Flament was complimentary: “It's going quickly, very quickly (laughs)! There too; it's very precious to have players like that. We feel that 'They feed on crumbs of the ball, with a small opportunity they manage to really put the team in progress or the others in danger.'
