the development of Fabien Galthié

“They are candidates for the French team.” On the waves of RMC SportFabien Galthié was very clear aboutHugo Auradou et Oscar Jegouindicted for aggravated rape during the 2024 summer tour in Argentina, and who saw the courts dismiss their case on December 10.

For the coach of the XV of France, this dismissal makes possible the presence of the second line of Pau (21 years old; 1 selection) and the third line of La Rochelle (21 years old; 1 selection) in the list of 42 players for the 2025 6 Nations Tournamentwhich will be revealed this Wednesday, January 15, in the afternoon via a press release.

Jégou and Auradou called for the 6 Nations Tournament?

“From the beginning, we said that we were waiting for the court decision, and that we had confidence in the justice system. […] We waited for the different stages until the case was dismissed. The dismissal of the case means that there is a total acquittal of both players. This means that these two players are now selectable,” declared Fabien Galthié.

And the latter answered “yes” to the question: “do their sporting performances give them a chance of being among the 42 for the Tournament?” “. “They have been playing again for around three months, almost every weekend, they are judged on a sporting level in the same way as the others on their ability to potentially be in the French team,” Galthié said. Since his return, Oscar Jégou has performed particularly well with La Rochelle.

Very clear focus

And on the fact that the complainant, a 39-year-old Argentinian, appealed the court decision, Fabien Galthié wanted to answer: “Yes, there is an appeal. Justice takes its course. But at present, it is a dismissal that concerns them. Nothing else.”

A very clear clarification from the coach of the French XV: it seems likely that Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jégou appear in the list of 42 for the 2025 6 Nations Tournament.
