Willie Du Plessis. The master to play.
In view of the major importance of the South African opener of the Stade Montois, the believers and devotees yellow and black pray that nothing happens to Willie du Plessis. Save Willie ! It is true that the stadist playing master quickly established himself as a masterpiece, a main quality of the Gascon device. The native of Pretoria claims to be living a makeover since his arrival in the city of three rivers. Francophone and Francophile, descendant of emigrated Huguenots, du Plessis transcends himself within a group where he immediately found his marks. Influence on the meadow as well as on the heart of the troop. Man in the field as in the locker room. The technical direction of the Stadium also gave him the keys to the truck. A rebirth when we remember that last season Le Plessis was benched in Biarritz. Passed by the Bulls, the Cheetas, Toulon, Bayonne, Montpellier and therefore the BO, the springbok dazzles in Mont-de-Marsan. Du Plessis is the ideal opener. Strong in orientation, intelligent, responsive in reading the game, in distribution, he excels at the foot, capable of succulent and masterful diagonals of more than sixty meters. And his tutoring from Léo Coly allows the young half-scrum to further enhance his excellence and mastery. At thirty-one, du Plessis illuminates a team that walks on water with his experience. Without him, the Stadium does not play the same way. The only Willie would miss that many would be depopulated. Willie du Plessis the opening half of Mons is a centerpiece, essential, from the Gascon group. And his position is also the Achilles heel of the team because there is no alternative solution of the same caliber. Despite possible solutions. Save Willie ,! Scoumoune, bad luck, black cats … Ste Quitterie, Saint Boniface, at work!
