Six Nations Tournament: "It ended in the Seine at 6 a.m.", the incredible night of the Blues trophy

A final victory against England (25-13), a first title in the Tournament for this exceptional generation and a first Grand Slam for French rugby since 2010. Let's be honest, all of this deserved a great celebration for this XV of France which has seduced millions of French people.

In the wake of their title acquired on Saturday evening in front of their Stade de France audience, the Blues therefore went off to party, taking their trophy with them for a night of madness.

The cup is first passed from arm to arm at the edge of the field, before spinning in the locker room of the enclosure.

Then, several tricolors took some photos with the bus which took them to join the capital in the night from Saturday to Sunday.

The latter then arrived, with the whole tricolor group, on a barge parked on the Seine, "the blue diamond", a place chosen to celebrate this successful campaign with dignity.

“We were with our friends and relatives, we had a good laugh.

It was nice and without excess ”, assured us Sunday at the beginning of the evening the opening half Romain Ntamack.

This did not prevent the reward acquired by the tricolors from being visibly a little abused, as told by Damian Penaud, guest in video of the "Canal Rugby Club".

“The trophy had a great night.

I didn't have it all evening, but I know it ended up in the Seine at 6 a.m., says the Clermontois, known to be one of the ambiancers of the XV of France.

I don't have any other info.

I do not know where he is.

"It's true that we didn't see it today (Editor's note: Sunday), it's worrying," laughs attacking coach Laurent Labit, present on the set.

A later guest on the show, second line Cameron Woki played the innocent.

"I didn't even know", explains the Bordelais, questioned about the little tour in the river of the trophy.

"I don't have any information on that, but I don't know if there isn't Baptiste Couilloud (Editor's note: scrum half for the Blues and Lyon) who went for a little dip to see if he was not in it, ”smiles Ntamack, in duplex at the Ernest-Wallon stadium.

So, where did this famous trophy go?

Information taken, it was collected by one of the members of the staff of the Blues.

According to our information, he kept it at home while waiting to drop it off in the trophy room of Marcoussis, the training center for the XV of France in Essonne.

Sheltered from the eddies of the Seine.
