Starting with Charles Ollivon. The 3rd line Senpertar, back in the blue jersey, after a year of absence due to a rupture of the cruciate ligament of the left knee.

The left pillar and the winger, all recent Pro D2 champions with Aviron Bayonnais.
Also note the selection of Maxime Lucu, the Bordeaux-Bègles scrum-half, called up following the Top 14 semi-final lost against Montpellier.
