It was a special evening for Oscar Jégou, who, like Hugo Auradou before him, found his way back to the Top 14 with La Rochelle. The third row started against Stade Français and it was a profitable choice for Ronan O'Gara's staff because it must be admitted: Oscar Jégou was very good.
“It’s no surprise”
The La Rochelle players, and captain Dillyn Leyds on the front line, did not hesitate to praise the qualities of their young partner and to congratulate her on her return. But on the staff side, the praise is no less abundant, with Donnacha Ryan who spoke to Midi Olympique, showing himself impressed by the game performed by Oscar Jégou after such a long absence. The international third row was particularly congratulated by his coach for his very serious work in the shadows, in order to prepare well to return to the best level.
What if I expected it to last 80 minutes? No problem ! He’s light, but his heart… What a match! He's a great player. But it's not a surprise because we are privileged to see him evolve every day. He is very lucid. The last three weeks, he was very motivated, very efficient in terms of his qualities in training. His bodybuilding work was evident given his impact on the field. It's anything but a coincidence that he scored a try.
To summarize
It was a special evening for Oscar Jégou, who, like Hugo Auradou before him, found his way back to the Top 14 with La Rochelle. The third row started against Stade Français and it was a profitable choice for Ronan O'Gara's staff because it must be admitted: Oscar Jégou was very good. His teammates congratulated him, but from the staff side, the praise was no less generous.
