There's probably an official term for it, (see terminology) but Raphael performed this winning move about five times today. He'd see the opposing boule was just to the side of the cochonnet, and he'd point/shoot against it, replacing that boule with his. Not specifically a carreau, but more like a pointing carreau. A great technique because it comes in as a pointing throw so if it missed (Raphael NEVER missed) it'd remain in the area.
Two games today, the first, Jeff/Abu vs. Pat/Raphael brought a victory to Pat... 13/6 - though there was 25 minutes left, he quit while he was ahead (smart move). The second game, Jeff/Matt vs. Raphael/Abu - (played to 10 points), with 13/10 victory to Jeff/Matt. How? Strong pointing, concentrated strategy, and a little luck...
