Four matches (two in the top 14, two in the Champions Cup), four wins: Lyon, Ulster, Bath, Racing 92. Total score points: 151, or almost 38 per match!

9 pm Antoine Dupont present against Bayonne… extremely rare!
It’s not uncommon to see a star scrum-half (fly-half tonight) present with his club at this time of year. And for good reason, it usually accompanies the blues. Thus, since his professional debut, Bayonne is a team he has faced very rarely in his career. We explain this singularity to you here.

8:50 pm A reminder of the starting XV!
In the Toulouse side, still missing 7 French internationals who left with France’s XV, Antoine Dupont starts from scratch. Haut-Pyrénées is not participating in the 6 Nations tournament this year as it has opted to attempt an Olympic adventure with France’s 7.
