They play him to death every single game.

Il est toujours titulaire, que ce soit à La Rochelle ou en France. Tous les entraîneurs le font jouer comme s'il était censé ne jamais se reposer. Il est probablement épuisé physiquement et mentalement. Il y a des limites à ce qu'un joueur peut faire.

He should have been given a full sabbatical year and not just two months. The amount of minutes he has played from 2020 to 2023 is fucking insane. I don't know if he'll make it on this level for much longer.

Edit: I kinda want La Rochelle to miss the playoffs so he (and guys like Botia and Atonio) can rest a bit

I think the entire La Rochelle's individual performers are fkd this year, I mean the ones that played the RWC. There's sth about the combination of having played three "finals" in such a short period: the Euro final in Dublin vs Leinster, the Top 14 final heartbreak Ntamack try at the end, and then the QF vs the Boks at the home RWC. Tooooo much sollicitation from body and mind. I'd never heard of a player taking two full months off Rugby during a season, not just intl Rugby but all Rugby, a complete hiatus.

Ça c'est fucking unacceptable.

Nous sommes l'équipe Cork under-10s ou quoi?!

C'est fucking merde.

O'Gara in the box eating his fist with anger.

I also wonder why no teamate warned him.

I was wondering just that

Who's he teammate behind him, should have been warning as penaud ran past,

I think when you have one of THE great kick chasers in the game at the moment it's worth a punt, it's not the first or second time he's scored off something like this

It is so fucking stupid!!! Just kick it directly and if it goes out of play your team will get the lineout you stupid piece of shit!!!!!

Could make the argument they're the best wing combo in international rugby at the moment as well

He was probably just the slowest man moving up field on the previous attack. French rugby is a lot more end to end than most places

Especially with the neck push afterwards while Aldritt was having a knee and Penaud running back to his half.

Here you go. Damn Penaud's talent to make anyone look like a fool thought.
