At 1:30 a.m. before the start of the derby against US Carcassonne, there is a last minute change in the ranks of Racing Club Narbonnais. On the third line.
Stupidly affected in training on Wednesday, by a crutch, third row center Charles Malet must forfeit this derby against US Carcassonne. The vice-captain was due to make his return during this meeting.
This package therefore changes the team composition, since in the starting XV, it is Lopeti Timani who will occupy the third center line place. And expected on the bench, Thibault Clauzade joins the starting flanker. These two changes propel Luke Nakobukobua to the substitutes' bench.
The composition of the RCN: 15. Thibault Santoro – 14. Pierre-Hugo Ducom, 13. Peter Betham, 12. Parataiso Silafai-Lea'ana, 11. Clément Clavières – (o) 10. Gilles Bosch, (m) 9. Pierrick Nova – 7. Paul Belzons (cap.), 8. Lopeti Timani, 6. Thibault Clauzade – 5. Marius Antonescu, 4. Leva Fifita – 3. Christopher Talakai, 2. Clément Esteriola, 1. Grégory Fichten.
Substitutes: 16. Gabriel Atlan, 17. Theo Castinel, 18. Darrel Dyer, 19. Luke Nakobukobua, 20. Erwan Nicolas, 21. Tom Chauvet, 22. Pierre Nueno, 23. Livia Tikoipau.
