Capó Ortega Captains Castres, Martínez on Bench

Former Uruguayan international forward Rodrigo Capó Ortega will captain Castres Olympique this Saturday in the club’s home match against Grenoble. Capó Ortega will play second-row while Argentina’s Lucas Martínez will act as a replacement prop.

Castres is welcoming back international players from World Cup duty such as Remy Grosso, Rory Kockott, Romanian Mihaita Lazar and Scotland’s Richie Gray.

Former Argentine fly half Benjamín Urdapilleta remains sidelined with injury which sees Daniel Kirkpatrick starting at pivot vs Grenoble.

After five rounds Castres and Grenoble are ties for 8th position on 10 competition points each.
