French rugby players' rape accuser survived suicide attempt - lawyer

The 39-year-old tried to take her own life last Friday, lawyer Mauricio Cardello told AFP Monday.

She was doing better, Cardello said, but would not attend a hearing on Tuesday where the men - Oscar Jegou and Hugo Auradou - are expected to file a motion for the dismissal of the case.

Auradou and Jegou, both 21, were arrested in Buenos Aires two days after winning their first international caps against Argentina in Mendoza.

They were charged with aggravated rape of a woman they had met in a bar after the match.
