Rugby: convicted of domestic violence, Castres Hounkpatin removed from the group to face Gloucester

Wilfrid Hounkpatin, pillar of Castres Olympique, was sentenced to 12 months in prison on Wednesday for brutalizing his partner. While he was to participate in the round of 16 of the Challenge Cup on Friday, against the English side Gloucester, the international pillar (1 selection) was ultimately not selected by the CO.

On January 8, his partner and mother of his three children locked herself in a bedroom of their house with her partner's phone, when she had just discovered that he was having an affair with another person. Wilfrid Hounkpatin then kicked the door, grabbed the victim by the wrists, before pressing her several times against a box spring, also squeezing her neck. The young woman, a nurse by training, went to the police station the same evening to file a complaint. During the hearing on Wednesday, the player apologized.

Following this affair, his club fired Wilfrid Hounkpatin. “Such actions would be in total contradiction with the values ​​advocated by our club. “In the immediate future, Castres Olympique has decided to initiate a disciplinary procedure accompanied by a dismissal with a ban on coming to the workplace,” the CO wrote. Quickly returning to training and to everyone's surprise, he appeared again in the Castres group to face Toulouse on March 2.

Friday, Castres, which has never made continental games a priority, will have a lot to do on the field of Gloucester, who finished the group stage with the best record of all the teams involved (four victories, 17 points). To create a surprise in the 9th and penultimate in the Premiership, they will have to do better than in their last four Top 14 meetings, all ending in defeat.
