The InExtenso Supersevens is back in action this Friday in Lyon

The first meeting was passed with flying colors by the Union Bordeaux-Bègles. The Girondins won the first stage of the InExtenso SuperSevens, with a victory against Monaco. The selection of the principality, invited by the organizers, is nevertheless renowned as a reference in rugby sevens. So, this second stage in Lyon, this Friday, constitutes a golden opportunity to get back up and take revenge.

With the new edition of this tournament, InExtenso Supersevens offers a new format to discover up-and-coming professional rugby players: “Raw Talents”. In three episodes, we discover the daily life of these young SuperSevens participants, thanks to questions from Marjorie Mayans, ex-international rugby sevens and fifteens.

The revelation of the Clermont stage: Hoani Bosmorin soars

His team sometimes shone, sometimes disappointed. Stade Rochelais first beat Aviron Bayonnais, before believing in it against Monaco, the benchmark for rugby sevens. Then, to collapse at the end of the match and during the match for fifth place against Stade français. But he widely distinguished himself. The spectators saw his qualities and elected him as the InExtenso revelation of this Clermont stage. Hoani Bosmorin may not have made it to the semi-final stage, but he had a successful tournament. The player who has been with the club since 2010, when he was 5 years old, scored a try in the first half of the first match against Bayonne. Ditto during the next meeting, despite the reputation of Monaco 7’s. Beyond his achievements, the little Rochelais was at every turn, as he showcased his strengths in terms of acceleration and changes of support. This is all the talent of the man who now plays winger for XV. Indeed, he had been trained as a scrum-half until Crabos, before taking full advantage of his change of number.

The speed of his decision-making linked to his supersonic legs makes him an ultra-dangerous player. Selected with the French under-18 team in 2022, he scored six tries in four matches. That’s not all, since he was crowned European Sevens champion with the U18s… During his second professional match, against the MHR last May, he had already scored a try full of opportunism thanks to a good reading and a real burst of speed. A true product of La Rochelle training, he demonstrates, like Ange Capuozzo, that you can succeed in rugby with a small size. His undeniable potential earned him an extension of his contract with the Caravel club in the spring. He is now bound to it until 2025. More than enough to reveal all the cards up his sleeve…
