Taylor Paris stars as Oyonnax down Charente

Taylor Paris started for Oyonnax on Friday. The Canadian’s 40th minute score was his team’s only try go the match. Oyonnax were 16-8 away winners over Charente.

The try saw the Canadian running an excellent support line. He had the speed to finish off the break and get past his opposite Theo Velten.

Oyonnax have started the season well. The club are in third position and have won both of their matches thus far. They have a tough assignment as they face Mont de Marsan on the road this coming Friday.

Paris joined Oyonnax this season from Castres. It is his third French club after he also previously played for Agen. Oyonnax is home to Uruguayan second-rower Manuel Leindekar. He joined Taylor Paris in the starting line-up. The match had a unique Uruguayan battle as German Kessler started at hooker for Charente.
