Santiago Arata is on top of his game in France. The Uruguayan has been named as Castres’ best player of the month for September. It comes as no surprise given that he was named as Castres’ best player in Top 14 matches against Racing 92, Stade Français and Bordeaux.
Arata was again named as Castres’ best player for the team’s first match in October. Arata had a try assist, as shown below, for Castres against Perpignan.
