The two brothers used the word “magical” when describing the moment they experienced this Saturday on the Mayol lawn. Two little Bretons (over 2 m tall) from Plougastel-Daoulas competed in front of more than 16,000 spectators, including their mother and aunt who came specially from Finistère for the occasion.
“It was incredible. My brother and I had set ourselves the goal of playing in that match, confided the eldest Timothé Mézou (22), who played his first Top 14 match with RC Vannes. When I looked up in melee, I saw his face. »
“We didn’t think it was going to happen so soon,” said Corentin Mézou (19). We could exchange little glances, little smiles in touch. » He played a second match with RC Toulon in two weeks.
“So, are you putting your head in the grass? »
The youngest knew on Wednesday that he was going to be the starter, one day after his brother. “I sent him a message: ‘So are you playing or not?’ I’m the holder, I want to know if I can stamp you a little'”, laughed Timothé Mézou.
But, once on the ground, everything goes very quickly. “It’s already hard to catch your breath,” he adds. We don’t catch anything (laughing). If you manage to pick up a guy and you realize that he’s your brother, you say to him: “So, are you putting your head in the grass? » ».
But at the end of the match, the two brothers found themselves, with their mother and their aunt, to return to this suspended moment, which will perhaps call for others. As soon as you return to La Rabine?
