Rugby: on video, the documentary from Stade Toulousain up close with Romain Ntamack during his long convalescence

Ten months of hassle and waiting. Injured in the knee before the last World Cup, Romain Ntamack had not started a match with Toulouse since the Top 14 final against La Rochelle, won thanks to his winning try in the final moments. On the occasion of his return to competition (he played 25 minutes last week against Pau), Stade Toulousain put online a 26-minute documentary on the “behind the scenes” of his convalescence, entitled The Return of a champion. In addition to the testimonies of several of his teammates, this mini-film shows all the strength of character of the opener of the XV of France.

Antoine Dupont said of his teammate and friend: “We found each other quickly. It's like we never got lost. That reassured us. It's always annoying to lose big players and when we find them again, it's obviously a plus for a group, it brings back emulation and enthusiasm. A player who has been absent for a long time always comes back with a lot of desire. We know the quality that Romain has, his composure and his ability to be present in matches that count. It’s precisely these matches that are going to happen so it will be good for everyone.”
