Compared to the starting XV in last weekend’s hard-fought win over Oyonnax (21-17), the staff changed nine players. At the back, apart from Camille López, only Guillaume Martok in the center and Cheykh Tibergin in the back keep their jersey numbers. With Federico Mori retained in the Italian selection, it is Enrico Buliruarua who will start as the first centre. On the wings, Remy Baggett and Arnaud Erbinerteger replace Victor Henoun and Ernest-Vollon, who were injured during training this Thursday, and Aurelian Callandret.
The classic 3rd line
Next, the first and second lines are completely changed. Swan Cormenier, Vincent Guidicelli and Luke Tagay were launched from the start of the match. Matisse Perchaud and Tevita Tatafu will be the replacement pillars. On the heels, Thomas Aquier is chosen for Facundo Bosch on the bench. In the cage, the return of Thomas Cete, left of the group against Oionax and Arthur Eturia. Denis Marcois is resting while Lucas Poulos takes his place on the bench.
In the third row, it is a classic, with the most used trio of the Patat era: Pierre Huguet, Baptiste Haigu and Uzair Kassim. Former Rochelais Rémi Bourdeau will enter during the game.
