Oyonnax shows Weepu the door

Friday 15 Jan 2016

They 32-year-old was recruited by former coach Olivier Azam and initially signed a two-year deal with the club. However, he has managed to start just five Top 14 matches this season while he has made three appearances off the bench.

"Oyonnax have ended Piri Weepu's contract,. The player is no longer part of the club's professional squad," the club said.

Weepu, capped 71 times by the All Blacks, has been plagued by thigh and groin injuries and was not involved in Oyonnax's last match, a 23-24 defeat by Ulster in the European Cup last weekend.
