Although he “only” missed three games following his hand injury, Leicester Fainga'anuku was greatly missed by his teammates in January. Because without it, taking the axis of the land is always more complicated?
And that's good, for the reception of La Rochelle which awaits Toulon this Sunday (9:05 p.m.), Pierre Mignoni was able to count on the return of his strong center, who will start as a starter. The other very good news concerns Beka Gigashvili.
In difficulty with his adductors, the Georgian right pillar returns to competition after two weekends of rest. Excellent news for the Toulon scrum, martyred last week in Sale (7 penalties) and which will really need the know-how of its right-hander against the La Rochelle pack.
-Frisch alone Blue on the bench
Then, if it was logical to ask whether Pierre Mignoni would choose to start or not the players called by Fabien Galthié to prepare for the Six Nations Tournament (and who, in fact, missed the start of the week with Toulon) the coach Toulonnais chose to trust each of his conscripts in Blue, who returned in the middle of the week
. Thus, Gaël Dréan and Gabin Villière will start on the two wings, Esteban Abadie will start in the third row, Matthias Halagahu in the second and Dany Priso Mouangué will start on the left of the scrum. Antoine Frisch, for his part, will start on the bench. Finally, also absent at the start of the week, the Italian internationals Gianmarco Lucchesi and Paolo Garbisi will also start.
