Sunday January 1, 2023, the 14e day of Top 14 will end with a poster that always draws crowds with Clermont-Toulouse. Les Rouge et Noir are leaders of the championship, after a controlled first leg, while ASM lived a week with departure announcement at the end of the season by Damian Penaud.
Clermont: Sheepish in the center
Concerning Clermont, the composition to face Toulouse is mixed, due to numerous injuries. Realize: 7 third row are injured (Yato, Iturria, Fischer, Cancoriet, Van Tonder, Dessaigne and Tixeront). Nothing remains but Fritz Lee and Loic Godener, and unsurprisingly, the two men will start against Stade Toulousain. By their side? The young Cyriaque Guilly. At 19, he will play his first professional match.
Jedrasiak and Vahaamahina absent, it’s the duo Lavanini-Amatosero who will officiate in the second line. Behind, Damien Penaud will evaluate in the center, while Plisson was preferred to Belleau at the position of opener. Note also the presence of the young Tuataane on the bench, who will play his second match in the Top 14.

Toulouse:
On the side of Toulouse, we decided for the first match of the year 2023 to leave on vacation Peato Mauvaka, Romain Ntamack and Matthis Lebel. Thibaud Flament felt muscle tension after the victory against Castresand the right prop, Dorian Aldegheri, who has played every game since the start of the season, was rested.
Ramos suspended and without NTK, Toulouse decided to place in n°10 in its composition Antoine Dupont. He formerly hinged with Paul Graou. Up front, it’s brutal, with Marchand, Faumuina, Neti, Meafou, Jelonch and Arnold. Behind, note the presence of Juan Cruz Mallia on a wing and the return ofArthur Retiere.
