Less than five minutes from the end of the test match against the Wallabies on Saturday, the Blues winger went to deliver the entire Stade de France with a superb personal action.
Stuck in the yellow and green trap of the Australians, the Blues saw the specter of a defeat at home, at the Stade de France, in the first test match of the autumn tour of the XV of France. But, Saturday, November 5, the men of Fabien Galthié found themselves a hero, and this one is called Damian Penaud.
Trailing 25-29 in the 76th minute, the wing three-quarters overturned the game in a flash of talent. Served at the end of the line by Matthieu Jalibert, the Clermontois erased Tom Wright with a hook inside before re-sharpening Jock Campbell to go and register the second French try. A test synonymous with success (30-29) – the 11th consecutive for the Blues, a record – on an exceptional individual achievement.
