La Rochelle suffer big blow

Thursday 5 Apr 2018

Botia, one of the stand-out performers in the French league this season, sustained the injury in La Rochelle's 17-29 defeat by Scarlets in the European champions Cup quarterfinal on the weekend.

It is the second such injury for the 28-year-old, who signed with La Rochelle when they were in the second division Pro D2 in April 2014.
