ZOOM. Clermont – Stade Toulousain: Melvyn Jaminet manages the back office… but not only! On a screened his performance
At the back of the fifteen stadiste, the former Perpignan had a busy evening, Sunday January 1 in Clermont where the Toulousains imposed themselves at the end of the 14th day of Top 14 (32-13). Author of half of his team’s points, he recovered to “complete” the fate of the match very early.
May the terrible and boiling Ramos (the player, not the whistler) purge in all serenity, without the shadow of the slightest feeling of guilt, his European “headaches”.
The back room of the venerable red and black house remains very well guarded. We mention in The Dispatch the great opportunity offered to the former Perpignan, to in turn take his share of light in these mild winter evenings.
Its probable usefulness, in the almost historic mission, of closing a parenthesis opened more than twenty years ago without a championship victory at Michelin, was not too much in doubt.
The last but, the last (little) scare
And despite, in the same minute, the seventh, this attempt at a drop more worrying for the hairstyle of the old surrounding volcanoes than for the yellow posts, then the failed transformation of Mallia’s test, on a saw the international trained in Toulon influence the debates as it should.
He thus rewarded to make the mission of the day, the first of the year nine, rather comfortable and finally crowned with the so invaluable offensive bonus.
While the allotted time was surely flying and at a good pace towards the exit, while the Auvergne horn sounded the end of the long starvation shortage at the foot of the Puy de Dôme, the Toulouse sniper took the last goal, from afar, to offer to… Clermont a raise which could have deprived the winners of the offensive bonus! The threat was quickly dismissed and the position of the Haut-Garonnais at the top of the Top 14 firmly resolved.
Half the points, the length, and even a little extra
Until then, Jaminet had had the privilege of registering his first try in 2023 (on a breakthrough by Mallia relayed by Roumat) and of course transforming it as he did after those of Guitoune and Graou.
A short walk behind the line, three penalties, two transformations, a small half of the spoils for the Varois. The Stadium also took advantage of its length at the foot (as on this beautiful touch along the line after half-time) and its defense as on this “acrobatics” as on this poisoned chistera of Antoine Dupont (70th ), evening opener, which the fullback negotiated without paying anything in the torment of the reinforced yellow wave in the last part of the match.
The detail irritated Hugo Mola a little in his final prayer, but the main thing had been on the bus for quite a while.
