European champion against French champion, the poster is enticing. For the first match of the Top 14 season, La Rochelle receives Montpellier, Saturday September 3 at 9:05 p.m. at Marcel-Deflandre.
A first electric meeting for the start of the championship. Especially since the two clubs have reinforced their already solid squad of formidable recruits: international winger Teddy Thomas (absent because injured for this match) and one of the best number 8 of last season, Yoan Tanga-Mangene , joined Stade Rochelais from Racing 92. For its part, the MHR got their hands on the former scrum half of Stade Montois Léo Coly and the international opener Louis Carbonel (5 caps) in particular, both junior world champions in 2019.
