The trial of a group of rugby players accused of gang raping a student after a 2017 match by leading French team Grenoble was due to open Monday. But the absence of one of them, immobilised in Ireland after a car accident, forced the court to postpone the trial.
The proceedings started in the early afternoon but the court had to postpone the trial as one of the three co-accused of gang rape, Irishman Denis Coulson, was absent.
