Victim of an acromio against Argentina, the international third row from La Rochelle (14 caps) is unavailable for the first European fortnight. And maybe more, to hear Ronan O'Gara.
Asked about the returns recorded by La Rochelle for the opening match of the 2024-2025 Champions Cup campaign, Friday evening in Bath, Ronan O'Gara announced the unavailability of Paul Boudehent.
The flanker, among the big winners of the autumn tour played with the is not yet restored. And whatever happens, they will also miss the Bristol reception on Saturday December 14, counting for the second day of the group stage.
We don't have a return date
But the Irish manager of Stade Rochelais fears a much longer absence, while the caravel club has eight games to play before the next international deadline. “What's frustrating is that we don't have a return date, he declared this Tuesday late afternoon. It won't be this week, nor next. I hope it won't be fair to the 6 Nations, it would be very frustrating.”
