Urdapilleta Joins French Barbarians

Former Puma Benjamín Urdapilleta will play for the French Barbarians this month. His call-up means that for the second consecutive year he will play for the side against a Rugby Championship opponent. In 2015 he played twice against Los Pumas.

On November 2015 the Castres fly half will play against Australia. The match is to be a rare mid-week fixture and will be played in Bordeaux.

The complete roster for the match is yet to be revealed. Urdapilleta, though, is the second South American picked. He joins his clubmate Rodrigo Capó Ortega of Uruguay.
