Overview

• Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, both 21, were cleared of aggravated rape charges in Argentina in December after a judge ruled the alleged crime did not constitute a legal offense.
• The accuser has appealed the dismissal, with a hearing set for February 10-11 in Mendoza, Argentina, where three judges will review the case.
• The players have consistently maintained that the sexual encounter was consensual, while the accuser and her legal team allege corruption influenced the initial ruling.
• French national team coach Fabien Galthié has stated that the players are 'innocent' following the dismissal and are eligible for selection based on their club performances.
• The French Rugby Federation confirmed the players' eligibility for the Six Nations, with the squad announcement expected on January 15 ahead of the tournament's January 31 start against Wales.
