Better to lose with dignity than to win with dishonor!
I appreciate the revenge of this rugby player who fell from grace for doping. He disappeared and three years later, he will return to this sports school to coach this team of seven boys.
I found the soundtrack to be spot on, especially the music during the explanation of "what rugby is" that made me smile because it reminded me of the Quark programm. I liked the natural acting and the interludes with comics based on the images, as well as... the handsome young men.
A little less so are the moments where the shooting coach is treated like a slave by these school principals.
Their dirty methods to undermine the rugby team for more funding or for themselves. New guidelines, manipulation, unfavorable situations, unequal battles between the best in their classes against people who have never practiced... I couldn't wait for the showdown, especially from episode 9 onwards, when kneeling seemed to be the order of the day.
I didn't know about the existence of this rare disease, MYASTHENIA, which causes muscle weakness, eyelid damage (eyelids, double vision), and respiratory paralysis. Kudos to the actor for his performance, which makes these moments so touching. His character is a brilliant motivator for these kids, winning them over with his actions and advocating for them.
A mix of feelings: anger, seeing that those who play dirty, despite injustice and violence, always have everyone at their feet. Emotion, accompanied by a few tears, for these two coaches who put the well-being of their players before their own (support, sacrifices); tenderness for this captain who timidly confesses his love to the girl he likes; praise for the director who supports this coach through thick and thin; admiration for this shooter who trains hard to regain her balance after the accident.
A few emotional tears in the last few episodes.
