Supported by the emergency services in the wake of his injury, the cameraman named Olivier was then evacuated from the edge of the lawn via a stretcher.
The man, who works for a Canal + provider, had received the support of Biarritz player Henry Speight, involved in his injury, who had offered to carry the stretcher.
“I wanted to have a little thought for Olivier, the UBB - BO cameraman out on a stretcher, for his part underlined the scrum half of Lyon, Baptiste Couilloud after the victory against Racing 92 (37-35) in the evening.
As players, we know these kinds of injuries, and we know how painful and frustrating they can be.
The whole rugby family unites to send him all our thoughts tonight.
His brother Barnabé, who plays in Biarritz, was also involved in the cameraman's injury.
