He was courted by Top 14 clubs. At the end of his contract, Esteban Capilla, 21, was in particular in the sights of Montpellier. Finally, the young third row chose to continue it with Rowing. He has signed for two additional seasons, the rugby club of Rowing Bayonnais. Trained at AS Bayonne and US Mouguerre, Esteban Capilla is one of the players in form at the moment. Returning from his experience at 7, the young player has already started four times since the start of the season.
If he says “to focus” at the moment on rugby union, Esteban Capilla explained after the victory against Stade Français that he had always “in the back of my mind” the French team at 7. This summer, he was left out of the future Olympic champion team after an injury 30 days before the event. “If we can find an arrangement for 2028 and the Los Angeles Games, I will do everything to be part of the Olympic Games,” declared Esteban Capilla on Sunday. He is now linked with Aviron Bayonnais until 2027.
