He is not regarding to forget his Sunday with his rugby buddies. Jonathan Brillon, 19, has been playing as a winger or fullback at RC Massy Essonne since he was 12. With his team, like every weekend, he plays a match in the France Espoirs Championship and, this Sunday, it is in Bourg-en-Bresse (Ain). After a great away victory (21-23), the young Massicois head back home via the A6 motorway in a festive atmosphere.
Jonathan Brillon recounts the following: “We stopped at a rest area on the motorway and we all went to get a McDo. I sat eating it in a corner and stayed there quite a while because I was on the phone. And when I looked up, there was no one there! »
The young man finds himself alone and finds that his team’s bus from Massy is no longer there. But he won’t have time to worry for long. “Our bus was parked just behind the one in Rouen, continues Jonathan. I called a friend then I had my trainer, he explained everything to the Rouen trainer, I got on with them and they left me at the next rest area where my coach was waiting for me” .
A rap in the Rouen bus
Everything therefore quickly returned to normal, thanks to the presence of the Rouennais at the same time as the Massicois on this motorway rest area. Pure coincidence. “The hopes of Rouen played in Chambéry, and we found ourselves in the same place by chance”, smiles Jonathan Brillon. Solidarity in the world of rugby did the rest. And all with humor, because Jonathan’s misadventure made the planet Oval laugh, when Massy did not fail to share the story on social networks.
“I was chambered by the Rouennais first, laughs Jonathan. I had to sing a song in front of everyone. I chose Menace Santana, a rapper, it’s a recent song and the only one I know by heart! And, once his teammates were found, the jokes continued to flow. “We talked regarding it all the way,” admits Jonathan.
Was he upset to be forgotten like this in the middle of nowhere? “No, it doesn’t matter… But it’s true that I’m all over the place all the time, in general people don’t forget me! I was told that a player was in charge of counting us in the bus… He must have miscounted! “In the end, fortunately, the account is good.
