In the 7th round of the French Cup, AS Aorai will face Rupella. The Pacific champion will host one of the best team of this competition and it will be pretty tough to reach the next round. The game will be played on February 11th.

 

This French Cup is for the french team who are playing in the french fourth league and lower, Rupella is currently leading its group with a 12-4 record. Aorai's chance are pretty small but the team will start the game with a 7-0 lead because of the level difference and hopefully the french team will be tired after a 24-hour long trip or maybe even disturbed by the sandy beaches in Tahiti. Aorai has to won four games to reach the cup final, the final game will be played in Paris in front of 15000 fans.
Rupella has a well-balanced squad including 212cm center Percevault, who once played with the french NT, and US guard Ryan Williams. These players will be the main weapons of this team.
