Hugo Aubry is in talks to join Pro D2 side AS Béziers-Hérault ahead of next season, leaving now-relegated Rouen Normandie, and it is seen as a positive step for the 21-year-old fly-half.

Rouen have allowed players to move to new clubs if there are proposals, but Aubry at first seemed keen to stay and help them earn promotion back to the Pro D2.

As Béziers-Hérault are looking for a suitable bench replacement for Spain international Charly Malié, besides Victor Dreuille, Aubry has caught the club’s eye and is seen as a promising signing, and conversations are underway.

The talented playmaker had his international breakthrough season in 2024, when he was picked by then-Portugal’s caretaker head coach João Mirra, starting four out of five games for the Os Lobos.

The fly-half finished the season as the top point-scorer, scoring 55 points from the boot, and finishing with a 90 per cent kicking- accuracy something only previously done by Os Lobos fan favourite, Samuel Marques.

Aubry came through the La Rochelle set-up before moving in 2023 to Rouen Normandie, where he had a short stint in the main senior side, playing eight games and scoring ten points.

If Aubry pens a contract with Béziers-Hérault he would be the fourth Portuguese player joining the club, as fellow Os Lobos teammates Marques, Hugo Camacho (hired after leaving Bayonne last May), and Francisco Fernandes are also on the roster.

A decision is set to be made in the next two weeks, as AS Béziers-Hérault want to wrap up their roster before July 1.

Aubry will not play any part in the Portuguese summer internationals campaign, against Namibia and South Africa, as he is currently recovering from a shoulder injury sustained in the Men’s REC final against Georgia.

Nations Championship: 'The data shows the north has finally caught up with the south'

The Six Nations produced so many compelling games and so much of action packed moments that you can only conclude that its the best international comp out there at the moment except for a world cup. If Wales improve it will be even better especially given the strides Italy have made in recent times. The Rugby Championship is now taking a hiatus in a year it really should be building toward something better which is terrible considering the competition was so tight last year. The Nations Champs promises much but one gets the feeling that the 6 Nations teams will not be at their peak given its at the end of their long season. In terms of rugby quality and entertainment Id rather watch the 6 Nations over everything else other than a world cup right now. The North arguably offers more in terms of entertainment than the South at club level as well. The Prem, the Champs Cup, URC and Top 14 all feature plenty of scoring and different playing styles while Super Rugby seems to be the same thing game in game out. While the South tries to speed up the game artificially with new trials and law variations the North has shown you can do it with good refereeing which penalises cynical play harshly and encourages positive actions on the field. In terms of entertainment the North wins. In terms of winning? They are making strides but until they win another world cup or get a team to rank number 1 again for an extended time again they cant really say they are better than the South.
