TOP 14. Luc Ramos looks back on the last action of Paris-Toulouse: ”Youyoutte is on the side of the ruck”
Sunday night, Stade Toulousain lost in the very last moments of the party against Stade Françaisthanks in particular to a personal achievement of his Laumape center. A cruel 23-16 defeat for the Stadistes, who instead dominated the whole match, especially the second act. If some players and supporters were disappointed with the result, others castigated some decisions of the refereeing body, especially in the last ten minutes. First of all, there is the controversy around the color of the cardboard which should have been lost on the second line of the Stade Français Van der Mescht : many Toulouse supporters asked for a red card, which would have had no impact on the meeting since the player committed this foul 10 minutes from the end. Then there was that famous last act, which is undoubtedly the heart of the problem.
VIDEO SUMMARY. Top 14. On the siren, Laumape and Hamdaoui crucify Toulouse once againThis last action can be split into two points. primarily, the melee that launches the game is problematic. Some believe that the Parisian pillar Kakovin collapses, which should have resulted in a defeat. Secondly, the scraping of the Youyoutte third line, which the latter legitimately owes. The Toulousain had even expressed his frustration after the meeting, at the microphone of Canal: “It’s frustrating not to be rewarded. Just my opinion, I contest the ball, gotta recover a loss. It’s like that, I’m only a player, but it’s infuriating“. Following this, the referee of the meeting, Luke Ramoshas therefore decided to come out of the silence, and to speak out on this subject in the columns by Rugbyrama. As for the scrum, Mr Ramos claims there is no foul in his view, and therefore the game can continue without problems: “For my part, no one falls apart, there is no problem. My assistant referee never signals me for a potential foul, so game“. As for the scratching of Yannick Youyoutte, the referee of the match is formal: the latter was not in a position to dispute the ball : “The Toulousain was not at all in a legal position to scratch the ball. He’s completely sideways. If I whistled it was for a levity against himI preferred to let play“.
