In the category of “celebrities that we had not expected to see give their opinion on arbitration”, he comes far behind Jean-Christophe Lagarde and his “shameless theft from this fucking international federation”. But French astronaut Thomas Pesquet had little to envy of the former deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis in terms of indignation on Sunday evening, after the cruel defeat of the Blues in the quarter-final of the World Cup against South Africa.
On X (formerly Twitter), Pesquet did not mince his words on the performance of the referee of the match, the New Zealander Ben O’Keeffe. “Rugby is a sport which, usually, is played at 15 against 15d” he says a few seconds after the final whistle. A post quickly went viral and which provoked numerous responses. Among these, a visitor from Belgium considers him a “bad loser”, in reference to the “seum” of the Belgians mocked after the defeat in the semi-final of the Football World Cup in 2018.

Enough to drive Thomas Pesquet crazy with rage. “No, but in addition to being robbed, you have to deal with frustrated guys who don’t know the rules, that’s fine there. Nobody spoke in Belgium when France won? Everyone said it was “a great match with 2 good teams”? And yet nothing to see in terms of arbitration. No kidding. »
The exchange continues and the astronaut finally calms things down. “I really love Belgium. Really, sincerely. And I’m ashamed of the guys who insulted. But the guys on Twitter who have been waiting for the first French defeat since 2018 to troll out of pure bitterness, that on the other hand I have trouble […] If we want real jokes, humor and derision, no problem, we do it ourselves. »
