This is the best summary I could come up with:


Two French international rugby players have been charged with the aggravated rape of a woman following a match in Argentina, prosecutors in the South American country say.

Hugo Auradou, 20, and Oscar Jegou, 21, are accused of raping a 39-year-old woman after France beat Argentina on Saturday.

Warning: this story contains details that some readers may find upsettingThe woman alleged the attack took place at the Diplomatic Hotel, where France's players and staff were staying as part of a tour of South America.

"They are well and sure of their version, they are calm because they know they are innocent, but of course they are worried about this whole situation that they have had to live through," German Hnatow told reporters.On Wednesday another lawyer said the "sexual relations" had been consensual.

French Rugby Federation (FFR) president Florian Gill, who is in Argentina, also told AFP that the players had "quite a different version of events".

But we think that the Argentine justice system should look at the case very quickly," he said.Mr Auradou and Mr Jegou have been replaced by lock Mickael Guillard and flanker Judicael Cancoriet for Saturday's second match against Argentina in Buenos Aires.
