Toulouse – ASM Clermont: Penaud finds the center!
As we mentioned in the edition of La Montagne on September 16, after the defeat against Castres, the Clermont staff decided to replace Damian Penaud in the center for the trip to Toulouse this Sunday evening (9:05 pm).

The native of Brive finds the post of his beginnings in Clermont. This will be the 36th game he will start at center with ASM. He had not played in this position since December 22, 2019 in Toulon (defeat 41-19).

Penaud and Vili associated with the center
The absences due to injuries of Apisai Naqalevu, Jean-Pascal Barraque and Wesley Fofana are one of the reasons which led the staff to make this decision. But also, surely, the desire to put more speed and uncertainty in the heart of the game in Clermont, by using more effectively the qualities of Penaud very (too?) Discreet in his wing since the start of the season.
He will be associated with Tani Vili who will have to confirm his good start to the season while George Moala leaves the group by choice.
Return of Paul Jedrasiak
The trip to the champion of France and Europe will also be marked by the return to the second row of Paul Jedrasiak, who was absent due to a muscle injury to a calf since the reception of Castres (2nd day, September 11). He will again be associated with Captain Vahaamahina.

In the third row, Alexandre Fischer will start while Judicaël Cancoriet remains in reserve, unlike last week.
The first line renewed
The Clermont staff renewed the first line which had started against La Rochelle. Note, however, the return to the bench of Sipili Falatea while Rabah Slimani will be spared.
Behind, Bastien Pourailly takes advantage of the repositioning of Penaud to regain a starting place on the wing while Ezéala’s medical joker, Marvin O’Connor makes a first appearance on the bench.
