This Thursday afternoon, the USAP revealed the group of 30 players who have been selected for the trip to Lyon (this Saturday, January 4 at 4:30 p.m.), for the 14th day of Top 14.
Out of group or unavailable for the reception of La Rochelle last Sunday (21-13 victory), the second row Marvin Oriethe opener Jake McIntyre and the center Eneriko Buliruarua appear in the group for the trip to Lyon (Saturday 4:30 p.m.). It's a surprise to see the first two mentioned in the group because they were rather expected for the European Cup. To see, from now on, if the staff will align them against the LOU.
