Toulouse-La Rochelle is the match of the weekend, it’s the first against the second in the Top 14, it’s the european champion 2021 opposed to european champion 2022. Who says gala poster, says gala cast. Despite absences, the teams line up heavy this Sunday.
La Rochelle with Seuteni in 10 despite the return of Hastoy
For several weeks, La Rochelle had been facing a opener shortage. It was Ulupano Seuteni who acted brilliantly, especially against Toulon. So much so thatAntoine Hastoy back from injury finds himself on the bench. Pierre Popelin, for his part, is still treating his pubalgia. All the La Rochelle internationals are holders except Pierre Bourgarit, also back this weekend.
The composition of Stade Rochelais:
15. Dulin; 14.Thomas; 13. Rule; 12.Danty; 11. Leyds; 10. Seuteni; 9. Kerr-Barlow; 7. Tangas; 8. Alldritt (cap); 6. Dillane; 5. Skeleton; 4. Picquette; 3. Atonio; 2.Lagrande; 1. Wardi.
Replacements: 16. Bourgarit; 17.Aouf; 18.Lavault; 19. Della Schiava; 20.Berjon; 21.Hastoy; 22. Botia; 23. Dove.
Stade Toulousain without its pillars and Ntamack
Despite returning to training this week, Romain Ntamack will not be aligned this week-end. Like Seuteni, Thomas Ramos perfectly holds the Toulouse house in the absence of the international opener. The Toulouse problem is therefore not here, but at the post of pillar. In effect Cyril Baille, Rodrigue Neti and Charlie Faumina are still absent. It is the young people of the club who benefit from it. Duprat, very prominent at the start of the season, is replaced on the left of the scrum. On the right, to replace Aldegheri, it is Trauth, a Top 14 match on the clock, who will be on the bench. Other remarkable absences, three quarters Jaminet and Chocobares.
The composition of Stade Toulousain:
15. Malia; 14 Retire; 13. Barasi; 12. Guitoune; 11.Lebel; 10. Ramos; 9. Dupont(cap); 7.Elstadt; 8. Jelonch; 6. Flame; 5. Meafou; 4.Arnold; 3. Aldegheri; 2. Mauvaka; 1. Ainu’u.
Replacements: 16.Merchant; 17.Duprat; 18.Brennan; 19.Youyoutte; 20. Roumat; 21.Capuozzo; 22.Tauzin; 23.The truth.
This Sunday evening La Rochelle will have a series of eight straight losses against Stade Toulousain. And to obtain his second away victory of the season, after two missed trips, to Clermont and Lyon. The tone is set for a match that promises to be daunting.
