However, November in rugby is a period of all possibilities, of all hopes. Autumn often brings happiness. The big countries of the Southern Hemisphere come to challenge the countries of the North, like this Saturday again with France-Australia at the Stade de France. Such was the case on this 31st October 1999, when the Blues defeated, in the World Cup semi-final, Jonah Lomu’s undefeated All Blacks (43-31), with the outstanding Christophe Dominici. For Domi, nothing is impossible. But everything stopped. Because after the happy autumn comes the cursed summer. Deadly summer.
Dominici’s death, 5 years later: Béziers takeover, fraud, exhaustion… This summer of 2020 that “cost him his life”
