Without the new protocol of the NRL, this Stade-Français – USAP match would have been very threatened. Stade Français is recovering from a postponed match in Toulouse but this time it is the Catalan club that has cases of COVID in its workforce. At least six players are positive.
One week before another important match in Biarritz, USAP moves to Paris without Melvyn Jaminet, Bautista Delguy, Xavier Chiocci, Tom Ecochard, Jeronimo De la Fuente, Alivereti Duguivalu, Damien Chouly, among others.
Tristan Tedder, absent against Castres, finds a starting place at the opening. The young Nino Seguela, who had played a few minutes in Lyon and who stood out against Newport, will celebrate his first tenure in Top 14. The debut in Top 14 for Edward sawailau who will be on the bench.
