\"Memory<\/a>Rugby is a sport that leaves traces both physically and psychologically. Like a poisoned arrow slowly distilling its venom into the blood of all those lucky enough to have ever worn a rugby jersey and ball. Exhilarating stories of rides, victories or evenings, away from the cameras, Serge Collinet’s new book tells you about this authentic rugby, this rugby for some from another time that has been patiently built in the shadow of other sports. The values that some often like to cite are the pillars of this culture that is transmitted always and tirelessly in rugby schools. The preface by Emile and Romain Ntamack, illustrious rugby players, perfectly symbolizes this delicate balance between experience and youth, this passing of the baton between generations.<\/p>\n

The list of values is as long as a well-documented bibliography, however I will summarize it in a universal vector of integration, a model of combativeness, courage, fraternity. These values, dear to Serge, are the link between the qualities and individual values put at the service of a collective, the indisputable key to success in this sport.<\/p>\n

I had the chance to travel to countries where rugby is a religion, in New Zealand, Australia or the United Kingdom where it was born, the deep values of rugby are universal. All rugby clubs contain anecdotes sometimes chivalrous, sometimes crazy, stories of fraternity, sporting epics that go far beyond sport, they are inscribed in the DNA of these clubs and are transmitted from generation to generation as a legacy to perpetuate. I’m talking about this rugby where battles and bloodshed seal indestructible and eternal friendships. As the videographer Christophe Vindis will say, a Freemasonry where the price to pay to integrate this caste is courage, perseverance, solidarity and friendship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

But back to Serge’s book, he is an illustrious personality of the world of modern rugby by turns player, educator, coach, writer of rugby. It has experienced the turn of this rugby of yesteryear rocked by amateurism to rugby today highlighted by professionalism and the media. This multi-faceted man embodies this passion for rugby and this desire to transmit to all those who have played and loved this sport. Whatever the level of practice, from professionals to amateurs, the soul of rugby players as well as the soul of Maori warriors accompanies them on a daily basis in their personal or professional lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this book, Serge connects you to this old-fashioned rugby, this rugby away from cameras, selfies and social networks where memories are forever recorded in our memories rather than on a hard drive. He tells us, with his energetic and authentic writing,<\/span> These intense moments of match, training, evening and many other situations. This story is a poignant testimony of this life of rugby player to life and death and which leaves unforgettable memories, often good memories but sometimes others a little less good, moments of life shared marking and transgenerational. Funny and intense, M\u00e9moires du rugby \u00e0 l’ancienne<\/em> refers <\/span><\/span>All rugby players to his memories and offers for others, curious and profane, an immersive journey, a moving story in rugby and its backstage.<\/span><\/p>\n

The history of rugby contains colorful characters, some known have become stars and others that we can meet in the smallest clubs, men and women of the shadows working with their qualities and their defects for the love of the jersey and the unwitting promotion of what is rugby today. It is the story of men of temperament, that Serge also tells us in his book, the history of the meetings that were his, the story of his passion, his friendships, his disillusionments, in fact, the story of Serge the rugby player who for more than 40 years has contributed to the influence and development of this exceptional sport, a sport that has profoundly marked and transformed him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A first big thank you to you Serge for this book that will move all those who have had the chance in their lives to wear a rugby jersey, the anecdotes you tell in this book take an authentic look at this old-fashioned rugby, this rugby that has made rugby what it is today, This rugby is transmitted from generation to generation. The Ntamack family and many others in rugby show that generations change and rugby evolves but the fundamentals and passion remain. <\/p>\n

And finally a second big thank you to you Serge and PASSIFLORE editions<\/a> for trusting me for the cover of this new book. I am delighted that in my own way, I can also bring a touch of color to the success of this book.<\/span><\/p>\n

A relative confided to me after his retirement from sport that the pre-match atmosphere, the smell of camphor, the silent or noisy preparation of some players, the fetish socks, the rituals, the rants, the words said with sincerity and sometimes regretted is what he missed the most in his post-rugby period. Fortunately there are still friends. It is all these anecdotes lived or suffered sometimes touching sometimes delirious sometimes tragic but always told, often repeated that make rugby this exceptional sport that everyone should practice at least once in his life.
Team sport par excellence as Pierre Albaladejo, great French international player and sports commentator during the big maul said: I owe more to rugby than rugby<\/i><\/b> owes me and coming from a rugby maestro like him, it’s a warm compliment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Serge, could you introduce yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am passionate about rugby, I discovered this sport in CE2 with my teacher Mr. Closhourcade, it dates … And I never really left him despite a few detours through athletics or boxing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You are one of the recognized coaches in the world of rugby, could you explain the basics of your method?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was lucky to have had as a teacher Ren\u00e9 Deleplace whose methodology valuing the collective was caricatured to end up with a globalist boil that has never properly trained anyone. I also had coaches more concerned about the individual background of the player in his position like Marcel Peyresblanques and Jean-Yves N\u00e9rin. After trial and error, I built “my” approach that synthesizes the two previous ones by insisting on the weak point of French training at the base: the individual technique placed in the context of decision-making under the strongest possible time pressure.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sports teacher and sports educator, how did the idea of writing novels and stories come to you?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted to share my passion with people who love sport. Above all, I wanted to testify to the educational impact of sport in general, and rugby in particular, on our young people who badly, sometimes cruelly, need it. I am unhappy to see the poor place given to sport in the French education system.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Rugby au c\u0153ur” is the testimony, lyrical it seems, of an educational adventure that lasted more than thirty years in a small college deprived of Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
