It is a mixed team that the USAP aligns in the European Cup. New young hopefuls are lined up from the start: Baptiste Plana, Alexandre Perez, Ewan Bertheau and Victor Montgaillard.
USAP has already beaten Newport and can take a big step towards qualification if they win, but qualifying is an objective for the Lyonnais who also present Aimé-Giral with a mixed team but with all the same a solid framework of usual holders (Lambey, Couilloud, taofifenua,…). The mission promises to be complicated for the young Catalans.
