Oscar Jegou will play again with Stade Rochelais on Saturday evening during the 9th day of Top 14. The international third row, still waiting for a dismissal in the Mendoza affair, had resumed training with the rest of the group at the end of September. His teammates Dulin and Skelton as well as his coach Rémi Talès are delighted for the young player, who, sportingly, had an impressive end to the season with his club.

Rémi Talès: “He’s good for playing rugby”

“We are very happy to see him on the field again. To see him playing rugby. We are already dwelling on that, it is true that it is his first public outing. So we are happy to see him on the training with the whole group now, he has been retraining for a while now, he has regained his physical strength, he has regained his physical condition. He is good enough to play rugby. .”

Brice Dulin : “IHe will express himself on the ground”

“Above all, it's him who must be happy to be on the pitch, quite simply. Because he's been training for weeks for this. Now he's going to express himself on the pitch and that's where he is the most efficient I think We train hard every week to be on the field, our “reward” each week is to be able to play on the weekend. high-level athlete. No matter how hard you train for months, if you don't have the match on the weekend, at some point the joy and happiness of being on the field can disappear. The truth, It’s the game of the weekend.

These great qualities are above all a third line without lungs as they say, who sticks to the ball, who is always supportive, who makes up for the lack of movement of some. And then his vision of the offensive game… He's someone who is very good with the ball in his hands, who can create and provide extra numbers in attack. A complete third line which feels good when we have it on the pitch because it gives us a little relay for the three quarters and it allows us to play a little more rugby.”

Will Skelton: “It’s to the coaches’ credit to bring him back into the group”

“I'm so happy for him that he's in the group. He's been training with us for three or four weeks and physically he seems very good and he always brings the energy to training… That's all to the honor of the coaches to bring him back into the group.”
