After its offensive festival against Racing 92 (52-34), the Girondin staff decided to rest several key players. According to Sud-Ouest, Romain Buros and Marko Gazotti will be preserved. As will Nicolas Depoortere and Damien Penaud, who scored four tries between them on the last day.
Lucu and Jalibert present
The mission looks perilous for Yannick Bru’s team despite the expected presence of Maxime Lucu and Matthieu Jalibert, in great form since the start of the season. Especially since the Toulouse infirmary continues to empty. During the victory in Montpellier (11-20), Ugo Mola had made a turnover, while reintegrating two returnees, Anthony Jelonch and Peato Mauvaka.

The vast majority of the red and black armada could then be on deck. Only Antoine Dupont (holidays), Alban Placines (knee), Cyril Baille (ankle) and Mathis Castro-Ferreira (sinus) will be absent.
