Benjamin Urdapilleta and Rodrigo Capó Ortega inspired Castres to an away win at Racing 92 this weekend. The 10 time capped Argentine fly half kicked eight points in a low scoring 13-9 victory.
Starting against Urdapilleta for Racing 92 was France’s number 2 fly half from Rugby World Cup 2015, Rémi Tales. Urdapilleta out performed the 24-time capped Frenchman and also kept the 112-time capped New Zealander Dan Carter quiet.
Tales and Carter were joined by a host of big name players including Pumas Manuel Carizza and Juan Imhoff. Castles, though completed an upset win with Uruguayan Rodrigo Capó Ortega captaining the team to a well-earned victory.
Both Urdapilleta and Capó Ortega were named by Midi Olympique in the Top 14 XV of the week. Despite the pedigree of their performances neither player was involved in their respective countries performances at Rugby World Cup 2015.
