Six nations. How does the Toulouse stadium puts (subtly) the pressure to Fabien Galkié?The Stade Toulousain will open the ball of the 15ᵉ day of Top 14 with the reception of the MHR this Saturday, and as expected, the staff had to juggle the absences due to the 6 nations tournament. But don't panic, the starting XV concocted by Ugo Mola looks great, with a clever mixture of youth and experience.
A solid starting XV despite the duplicates
Even deprived of many executives, Toulouse aligns a competitive team. Angel Capuozzo will be on the back, while the pair of Ahki-Costs centers will bring power and dynamism.
On the wings, Matthis Lebel and Delibes will have fire in the legs to energize the Montpellier defense. At the opening, Juan Cruz Mallia will be in command alongside Paul Graou, in full progress this season.
In front, the third line led by Jack Willis (captain for the occasion) promises to be particularly dense, with Alexandre Roumat in 8 and Mathis Banos in 7.
Top 14. 5th defeat of the Toulouse stadium, La Rochelle is out of the Top 6, the pronos of the 15th dayOn the second line, Richie Arnold will return to supervise the young verge, while the first line Neti-Lacumber-Ainu'u will have a scrum -in -the -mele of the solid Héraultais.
Substitutes ready to make the difference
On the bench, Toulouse can count on fresh quality blood. The return of Placines will bring density in the third line, while Ntamack, Saito, Kinghorn and Epée will be able to energize the attack at the end of the match. The experienced Aldegheri, released by Galthié on Wednesday, is not on the match sheet.

The MHR knows that it will face a mountain, even if this Stade Toulousain is deprived of its internationals. Cistres will have to climb the ranks, especially in defense, under penalty of living a complicated evening.
