Big decision on the part of Xavier Mignot. The French international winger, who wore the French XV jersey during the Blues' tour to Argentina in 2016, decided to leave the LOU and the Top 14 to join Nola Gold Rugby, the club of Nouvelle -Orleans, Louisiana, United States. A striking choice, even though Mignot was rarely used by the staff of the Lyon club this season. The international pillar has decided to try the American dream, he who will settle down in New Orleans from January according to information from Le Progrès.
Mignot leaves LOU and France
Mignot therefore decided to try the adventure with the Major League team, the first American division, and he will join two other French people in this team. Thus, Kélian Galletier (6 caps with the French team), also signed with the American club. And it turns out that the team's coach is none other than Nicolas Godignon, the former coach of Rouen and Brive. The choice of Mignot is surely very thoughtful, especially since the pillar was no longer part of the plans of the Lou staff this season. He has only played three matches since the resumption of the championship and has not scored a single try. It remains to be seen whether this bet will be a winner or not for the former Blue.
