“We are all happy to see Oscar againalso commented his teammate Paul Boudehent, also an international. In all honesty, we don’t really ask him any questions. We want to know if he’s okay, we care about his well-being, but that’s it. We’re just really happy to have him back, we want to help him in the best way possible. So if he needs it – he knows it, we told him – we’re here, no matter what help we can give him. He knows he can count on us. I’m speaking for him, but I suspect that being back with the guys – and the good atmosphere within the group – must do him some good, too.” “This is very good newsalso reacted the international second row Will Skelton, captain of the Australian selection for the 2023 World Cup. It’s huge to see him back, to have him here with his family and we have hope that he can play soon. […] You could see how well he played for us at the end of last season.” The time has not yet come for a return to competition. Almost three months after his last official match, on the occasion of the first encounter (July 6) of the summer tour of the XV of France in Argentina, Oscar Jegou is following a re-athleticization and physical preparation protocol on the sidelines of the professional group of the Stade Rochelais.
