Georges-Henri Colombe was knocked out by Michael Ala'alatoa in the 79th minute of the final of the Champions Cup. The French pillar had raised his thumb to try to reassure the Rochelle public by leaving the field on a stretcher.

The Stade Rochelais reassured its supporters, worried about the health of the 25-year-old pillar. He responded to the fans with three images published on his Instagram account. He is seen lifting the cup with Uini Atonio.
