Urdapilleta Named in Top 14 Team of the Week

Consistency is one of the fundamentals in sport and the level of this demonstrated by Benjamín Urdapilleta for Castres has been extraordinary. Having been a star for Oyonnax the Buenos Aires pivot’s move to Castres has proven to be equally effective as the Tarn club are charging up the Top 14 ladder with a likely spot in the play-offs beckoning.

At home against Pau on Saturday Urdapilleta scored a first half try and landed three kicks at goal. His performance was noted by Midi Olympique who named him as the best fly half of the round, making it two in a row.

Castres are now well-positioned to press for a return to the Champions Cup. The club is in a dog-fight with Bordeaux whom Castres is currently just one competition point ahead of in 6th position.
