Ouedraogo unleashed and ready to roll

WHATEVER about the final score against New Zealand a few weeks ago, the 2011 World Cup will go down as a personal disappointment for Montpellier’s Fulgence Ouedraogo.

The 25-year-old flanker saw only 10 minutes of action in the entire tournament, as a replacement in France’s matches against Canada and Wales.

Worse still, every time Ouedraogo checked in online to see how his club were getting on in the Top 14, he was more-often-than-not met with further disappointment. After reaching their first ever French Championship final last year, Montpellier have endured a rocky start to the season, and are perched perilously close to the relegation zone.
