A week after dominating La Rochelle (26-17) and consolidating its first place in the Top 14, with 9 lengths ahead of its runner-up Stade Français, Toulouse goes to the promoted Bayonne (9e), undefeated in his Jean-Dauger stadium since the start of the season. A Stade Toulousain which presents a team diminished by the absence of 9 French internationals retained in Marcoussis. Here are the compositions of the two teams for this match led by a New Zealand referee.
Premiere of Dione with Bayonne, Machenaud on the bench
L’Rowing Bayonne has several injuries in its workforce: wing-back Arthur Duhau (patellar tendon), away from the field for several months, third line Jean Monribot and center Yan Lestrade, who both risk adductors, as well as left pillar Quentin Béthune, carried out cervical and absent between 10 and 12 weeks. Experimental three-quarter center Yann David and Georgian second line Konstantin Mikautadze returned to training this week, while flanker Baptiste Héguy is expected to apply for the trip to Clermont the next day.
Guillaume Rouet will be associated with the hinge to Camille Lopez against Toulouse, while Maxime Machenaud will start on the bench. In the third line, the young Robin Dione (21) will make his debut in the Top 14, preferred to Samoan Oj Noa. Behind, the Argentinian Martin Bogado is renewed on a wing, alongside the pair of Fijian centers formed by Sireli Maqala and Rico Buliruarua.
