Returns which have nothing of a guarantee but which are welcome before a match which can allow the UBB to compost its ticket for the final stages. After “returning” Matthieu Jalibert and Romain Buros three weeks ago against Toulon (16-29), the staff recovers several executives from their pack.
Heavy on the bench
Jandre Marais and Bastien Vergnes-Taillefer will start against LOU, as will Santiago Cordero who recovers his place on the wing. In the absence of Louis Picamoles, who twisted his knee on Tuesday in training, it is Alexandre Roumat who will put on number 8.
– Justine Hamon
Against Lyonnais who are used to finishing their matches strong, the Union will be able to rely on an XXL bench with six forwards. With the returns of Ben Tameifuna and Argentinian Guido Petti (meniscus) who has not played since January 2. Also with Thomas Jolmès and the international Cameron Woki, the UBB hopes to have the respondent. A victory would guarantee him a place in the final phase.
