His return was a great story.
But everything went wrong.
Mohamed Haouas found a starting place in the team against Scotland, he who had not started in Blue since March 26, 2021 and a defeat in the Tournament against … Scotland (27-23).
The right pillar of Montpellier - the only change from the team beaten by the XV of Clover - was expected at the turn, scrutinized closely in the absence of the experienced Uini Atonio, suspended after a dangerous tackle against Ireland.
And his match lasted only 11 short minutes at the Stade de France.
