The famous fictional character OSS 117 would surely say, seeing this scene: “I call that France, miss”. And not just any: the one where we can see the President of the Republic downing a bottled beer in one go in the locker room of the French rugby champions, a few minutes after the Top 14 final.
As surreal as this sentence may seem, it is nevertheless one of the scenes that marked the festivities as unbridled as usual at Stade Toulouse, which raised its 22nd Brennus shield on Saturday evening at the Stade de France. end of a thrilling final against Stade Rochelais (29-26).
In the winners’ locker room after the match, Emmanuel Macron was captured by Canal + cameras, a Corona in his hand, toasting the health of Toulouse residents before making the beer disappear dry. Under the cheers, of course, of Red and Black already intoxicated by their coronation.
A third half which was a little more successful for the Head of State than the pre-match. For fear of whistles and disputes, as was the case during the final of the Coupe de France on April 29, where he had finally decided to deviate slightly from the protocol, Emmanuel Macron descended on the lawn to greet the two teams before the match as usual, but with relative discretion: without being shown on the stadium’s giant screen, and covered by music and the voice of the announcers.
