Romain Ntamack has posted a video of himself surfing on the French Top 14 shield.
Fly-half Ntamack, 24, put on a dazzling display in Toulouse's grand final against La Rochelle at the weekend, bagging a superb solo score in the dying moments to win the match.
The duo's water-sporting antics were posted on their Instagram accounts. Ntamack can be seen with the 'Bouclier de Brennus' (Brennus Shield) in hand with a winner's medal around his neck, sporting a pair of Speedos. He takes a big run up before surfing on the shield and falling forward into the sea.
Watch the videos below:
Ntamack's caption: "Jamais 2 sans 3. PS - glisse toujours aussi bien", loosely translates to: "Never two without three. PS - Still glides just as well". It is the third time Ntamack has won the competition, and he also surfed on the Brennus Shield when he first won the trophy.
Celebrating unconventionally with the shield has become something of a tradition for French champions in recent years.
When Toulouse won the competition four years ago, they carried French singer 'Oli' around on top of the shield, while Castres have used it to serve up steak-frites and to clear up plates with.
When Stade Francais won it in 2015, they did "human bowling" in the changing rooms. The players slip-and-slid down, knocking into the coveted trophy.
In 2017, Clermont Auvergne scrum-half Ludovic Radosavljevic also surfed on the Bouclier de Brennus. But he chose the jacuzzi instead of the sea!
