Camille Lopez promoted to offensive coach at Aviron Bayonnais

Former French international Camille Lopez has received a significant promotion within the Aviron Bayonnais coaching staff. Following a transition year focused on kicking strategy and field positioning, Lopez will now take charge of offensive animation and the three-quarter line.

Head coach Gerard Fraser confirmed the organizational shift, stating that Lopez and Nick Abendanon will jointly manage the three-quarter sector. This expansion of responsibilities follows Lopez's move into coaching in 2025 after a playing career that included 28 caps for the French national team.
