Between the injured and the suspended, how La Rochelle prepared for its trip to Treviso

Ronan O'Gara took a deep breath before listing, at a press conference on Friday, the number of players who had missed the trip to Treviso. Good luck to him, since the list was long and not even exhaustive. There are the cases of long-term injured people, like Pierre Bourgarit, who is slowly getting closer to a return, or Raymond Rhule, on the verge of ending his career and about whom Ronan O'Gara clarified that he would speak later and at greater length “because he’s a player that I adore and who deserves more than two minutes.”
