Delbouis and Briatte absent for a month (Top 14)

Double bad news for Stade Français. In addition to the defeat in Bayonne last Sunday (21-13), the capital club brought back two serious injuries. They are Julien Delbouis and Romain Briatte. The center, who was supposed to start the game, had to give up during the warm-up; which led to a reorganization of the three-quarter line, Lester Etien sliding to the center and Samuel Ezeala taking his place on the wing. Later, shortly after the hour mark, third row Romain Briatte had to give way to Andy Timo.
