Christophe Urios had announced changes and even surprises. It is finally a composition without real surprise that the manager revealed.
The changes of the starting XV enter into a logic of rotation of the workforce. Maxime Laomthe relieves Clément Maynadier at the heel and Ben Tameifuna takes the place of Vadim Cobilas on the right of the first row.
Vergnes-Taillefer in 8
Flanker last Sunday in Perpignan, Jandre Marais goes back into the cage. Mahamadou Diaby, author of a sensational entry at Aimé Giral, finds a starting place next to Cameron Woki and Bastien Vergnes-Taillefer will wear number 8. The only real absentee is Guido Petti. Hampered by a slight elbow sprain, the Argentinian third line is not 100% and was therefore not selected.
– Justine Hamon
Behind, we take the same except for the left wing where Ben Lam pushes Federico Mori on the bench. A bench where Alexandre Roumat was preferred to Thomas Jolmes and where Jefferson Poirot, injured in the calf on April 9, and Louis Picamoles, injured in the knee on May 17, are making their comeback.
