Who will be able to stop him? Probably no one. Impressive since the start of the Blues’ autumn tour, Louis Bielle-Biarrey launched another unstoppable sprint this Friday against Argentina. Found by Thomas Ramos along the touchline, the Union Bordeaux-Bègles winger gave a little kick to the back of the Argentine defense and lengthened his stride to calmly flatten (58th).
His speed is no longer to be proven. “When he runs, he looks like he’s flying. I’ve seen some fast guys in my career, but he’s amazing,” Ludovic Loustau, his physical trainer at UBB, told us recently. During the 2023 World Cup, Damian Penaud recognized that his teammate was the fastest. “In training, I’m not the one who goes the fastest, Louis Bielle-Biarrey is on a scooter all week,” he smiled. Argentina’s defenders will no doubt agree.
Upset since the start of the second period, the Blues were relieved by this new try from their usual scorer. Despite everything, they did the job in the first half, with three tries scored. But the Pumas returned to the pitch with revenge and scored a try via Gallo in the 56th minute, reducing the gap to 14 points. With the “LBB” test, it rose to 19 points. Far too much to hope for an Argentinian return.
