“We carry out a small robbery, we had good karma for some time. “Stade Toulousain coach Ugo Mola summed up, at the microphone of Canal +, the victory on the wire of his team against La Rochelle (29-26), Saturday evening, in the final of the Top 14, thanks to a try by Romain Ntamack in the 78th minute of play.
A matter of karma, yes, no doubt. Especially when you listen to the rest in the mouth of the Toulouse manager. “What a try! His father (Emile, former winger of the XV of France) had been champion of France at 23 years old by being our captain, the little one did the same thing 30 years later almost. When you have kids like that, it’s easier to be a good coach. First sign of fate.
“What a last move! However (Romain) is almost K.-O. I had hesitated to take it out”, then reveals Ugo Mola. Let’s just rewind the thread of this finale a bit. Two minutes before this stunt already entered the history of more than a century of the finals of the French Championship, the opener of the XV of France had indeed suffered a virulent tackle from several La Rochelle players (Lespiaucq and Seuteni) at 15 meters under its posts. Ntamack is then treated for a long time, has difficulty getting up and takes his place in the game painfully.
Until this completely crazy race, in the continuity of the scrum which follows this stoppage of play, and which will see the son of Emile Ntamack go up 70 meters to slip into the Rochelais in-goal and offer victory to his team. . “This kid has a character! He may be able to make us become world champions, ”concludes Ugo Mola, dithyrambic.
