As reported by The Parisianthe dismissal hearing in the Jégou-Auradou case has been set by the Mendoza Public Prosecutor's Office for Monday, November 25. A hearing which has already seen 3 postponements, which somewhat annoys the clan of the two rugby players.

Oscar Jégou and Hugo Auradou, free and who replayed in the Top 14, are still indicted for aggravated rape of a 39-year-old woman. Alleged events which took place on the night of July 6 to 7, in room 603 of the Diplomatic hotel. The two men admitted a consensual sexual relationship, but denied any form of violence.

XV of France: exit Fickou against Japan?

A true member of the XV of France, Gaël Fickou will he miss the first match of the autumn tour against Japan on Saturday November 9? The trend would be great after the open training on Tuesday 5.

The pair of centers Yoram Moefana-Emilien Gailleton wore the starting chasubles. After the downgrading of Charles Ollivon, this would be a new strong message sent by the Blues staff!

Top 14: broken

If the Top 14 takes a break for 2 weeks, and will allow many players to recharge their batteries, the clubs are healing their wounds. In Bayonne, the 2^e ligne Arthur Fountainaffected in a shoulder, will be absent between two and three months.

On the Lyon side, the opener Paddy Jacksonvictim of a torn rotator cuff in one shoulder, will have surgery. His absence should be 8 months, which means that his season is almost over. Almost similar topic for Perpignan Jacobus Van Tondervictim of a rupture of the cruciate ligaments of a knee, and who we should not see again for a while.
