Looking at the youtube footage, he was definitely the one whose initial bad missed tackle on Ropati led to Sheffield's winning try on Saturday.
They really need to sort out the defence on the left wing which is where most of the points are coming.
He played full back for the two games in England, with Delgal at 6. I thought he was the only one of the french players to come out of the Widnes game with much credit.

Absolutely - the left side of defence has looked poor in every game, I've seen; individual players tackle OK , but no sense of any defensive organisation between them.
Can't see them being able to contain Whitehaven's pack this w/end, another heavy defeat in prospect, I think.
You can't argue with a score of 40-26, but the team weren't that bad. Once again, they were on the end of a very heavy penalty count, (12--4) Even at the end the Toulouse lads said, "we can't even buy a penalty!) And what gets to me is that the Olympique are not a dirty team. (Mind you, when my friend who went with me was privy to a conversation between a groundsman and the referee, which stated that the ref should have got a camp bed beacuse he spent so much time at Whitehaven, it makes you think a bit?)

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
Just hoiw he told me when we were getting ready after the ref and his touch judges got out of their car as they were parked near the team coach and my vehicle.
