Top 14 – Hugo Auradou (Pau) received a standing ovation upon his exit for his return to the Hameau

Hugo Auradou made his comeback to the Stade du Hameau on Saturday afternoon for the match Pau – Castres. The second row played 69 minutes before being shown a yellow card for obstructing the progress of an opposing maul. He came out to a frank ovation from the Béarnais public who chanted his name. The player preferred to remain sober and did not show any particular reaction. Hugo Auradou started for the second time in a row after his return to Perpignan. He was the author of a difficult start to the match with two penalties conceded after difficult return receptions. He then held his place with a certain brilliance, particularly in touch (he took a ball from an opponent’s throw to our score).

Hugo Auradou was indicted for aggravated rape in Argentina in early July with Oscar Jégou. He only returned to France on September 3 after being imprisoned. The second row made his debut for the France team during the last tour to Argentina. Obviously, Sébastien Piqueronies and the staff of the Section Paloise are firmly counting on him.

Hugo Auradou, 21, has 46 professional matches with Pau since his debut in December 2021. He was part of the team crowned under-20 world champion in 2023.
