This 18th day of the Top 14 opens on Saturday with a cleaver match for Toulouse. The double title and European Cup holder is on a sad series of five defeats in five days. Despite a late meeting, Toulouse are worried and have to catch up with Pau (10th).
Concern also for Toulon which points to the penultimate place and welcomes Perpignan (5 p.m.). In the event of victory, the two teams can hope to breathe a little by moving away from the red zone. Montpellier will want to continue their fine series of eight victories by moving to Brive (11th). Lyon (3rd) third goes to Castres (4th) for a match that promises intensity.
Rescue mission for Biarritz, red lantern, which moves to the French Stadium. Finally, at 9:05 p.m., the clash between two behemoths of the championship: La Rochelle against Clermont. Ranked in the middle of the table, the two teams must seize their chance to move up the rankings.
On Sunday, the leader Bordeaux-Bègles welcomes Racing 92 (5th). The two teams are in good form and the meeting promises to sparkle.
