the very strange incident that affected the South African team the day before the match

The match between Racing 92 and the Stormers saw the Ciel et Blanc win with a score of 31 to 22, with the offensive bonus point as a bonus. The South African visitors, who were lucky not to suffer the full brunt of a climatic shock since they were playing in the warm Paris La Défense Arena, were victims of a rather intriguing mishap before on the eve of kick-off of the meeting, at their hotel.

A computer stolen by a fake client

The Stormers had set down their suitcases at the Radisson Blu, located in Boulogne-Billancourt. An individual allegedly entered a room in the hotel where the team was gathering to work. And according to Rugbypass, he managed to leave the room by taking with him the wallet of one of the staff members, but also his computer. No one was alarmed by the presence of the individual in the room, the thief appearing as a customer who was looking for his way around the hotel. The hotel’s surveillance cameras made it possible to see what really happened and now the French police have been contacted, with an investigation opened.

Could this incident have had an impact on the Stormers’ performance?
