You didn’t have to be a great cleric to guess the composition of the Girondin starting XV. First because the team gained confidence and regained its bearings in the play-off against Racing (36-16). Then because the final phases are rarely conducive to experimentation.

The difference with last Sunday is the absence due to injury of Maxime Lamothe and Jandre Marais, affected against the Ile-de-France. The first is replaced by Clément Maynadier, Joseph Dweba taking place on the bench. And the return of Guido Petti, victim of a slight elbow sprain in Perpignan, coming at the right time to replace the second. Even if Christophe Urios has decided to leave the Argentinian Gudio Petti in the third row to bring Cameron Woki into the cage.
The third change concerns the position of right pillar where Vadim Cobilas was preferred to Ben Tameifuna. Behind, no change to a three-quarter line which has regained momentum and planted four tries at Racing.
