While he is still accused of “aggravated gang rape” by an Argentine woman, Pau second row Hugo Auradou will play well in the match on the fifth day of the Top 14 against Perpignan.
Two months after the evening which turned the French XV upside down this summer, Hugo Auradou will be on the Top 14 pitches. This Saturday, the second row of the Pau Section will be one of the 23 Béarnais players present on the match sheet for the trip in Perpignan during the fifth day of Top 14, as initially announced the Team. Still indicted with Oscar Jegou in a case of “aggravated gang rape”which would have occurred after the victory of the French team in Argentina on July 7, Auradou had experienced a more than complicated summer with incarceration, then house arrest in Mendoza. Returned to France at the beginning of Septemberboth players had returned to training with their respective teams.
No emergency in second line
For Auradou, a fitness session on the sidelines of the group was first planned, before the player was integrated into the full group. His physical condition now seems good enough for him to be able to play a Top 14 match, while the Section only has one absence in the second row for the trip to Perpignan, in the person of Mickaël Capelli. The presence in the group of Hugo Auraodu would have been validated by the Pau leaders.
