Benjamin Urdapilleta takes on a new challenge at 37. Norbert Scanella
The Argentine opening half of Castres, Benjamin Urdapilleta, has signed up, at 37, for one season and another optional with Clermont. Asked by The Teamthe Pumas opener justified his departure:Since December, I have been talking to the leaders to extend. I told them that I wanted to continue playing for another year and that I was ready to sign if they needed me. Months passed, and I had no contact. Two weeks ago, I said to myself that I wanted to continue playing rugby. After finding an agent, I received a call from the president of Castres (Pierre-Yves Revol) TA make an appointment. We both talked and he told me he wanted to keep me for another year. But the conversation didn’t go the way I wanted. I feel fit to continue playing as number one or two. But I didn’t want to stay to stay. The club, here, had rather the idea of playing young players, JIFF (Players from training courses). I was not the priority.
And to explain the reasons for his choice to join the ASM:I know Christophe by heart but also Frédéric Charrier very well. (next three-quarter coach). And there are three other Argentinians there (Thomas Lavanini, Bautista Delguy and Mark Kremer). It also meant a lot. But it’s true that Christophe’s speech was good. He told me he needed me. He wanted a player with experience, my temperament and the grinta like me.
