The fifth day of the Top 14 begins this Saturday, October 1. While Union-Bordeaux Bègles will face Stade Français at the opening (3 p.m.), it is a clash at the top that will close this weekend of rugby between the French champions, Montpellier, and Stade Toulousain. A meeting between two great contenders for the final title but also between two teams which currently occupy the first two places in the championship.

For this match, the club of the pink city can count on the return of its young third line, Yannick Youyoutte. Injured in the biceps, last March, on this same lawn of the GGL Stadium, the 23-year-old player will make his big comeback there. A meeting that will put him “in real live” as he said at a press conference.

“It was also my last match last season, that’s where I got injured. It’s the defending champion team, in front they are very strong, for a resumption match I’m going to be in the real live.”

With the absences in the third line and the suspensions, this shock is a great opportunity for Yannick Youyoutte to show what he is capable of and clear a place in the hierarchy of a position where competition is important.

“It’s on, I already have to find my level, it will go through good performances from Sunday. We will see after, it will be up to the coach to decide. Simply play. Physically I am on top, I feel good, I “I have no pain. After training does not replace matches, we will see how it goes.”

to summarize

Facing the MHR, the club of the pink city can count on the return of its young third line, Yannick Youyoutte. Injured in the biceps last March on this same lawn of the GGL Stadium, the 23-year-old player will make his comeback there. A meeting that offers a great opportunity to shine for the latter.
