Remember that the Englishman wore the Oyonnax colors between 2014 and 2020. “Agen and Oyonnax are two teams close to my heart. Oyonnax is in trouble. But that's sport, you can't win all the time.

This promises a big match. » And a prognosis in all this? “When my brother plays, I always want him to win!” »
