For the Toulon reception, Sunday (9:05 p.m.) at the end of the 4th day of the Top 14, the ASM Clermont coaches made several changes, including the first start of the season for winger Delguy, just returned from the Argentinian selection.
A week after the “mush” of Catalan rugby, ASM Clermont will have to raise the bar against Toulon, at home at Michelin, this Sunday (9:05 p.m.). A poster which, if not successful as in the past (before the Covid period), already has its importance, especially for the men of Christophe Urios.

Six players absent in Perpignan join the match sheet to face the Varois: Tixeront, Tauzin, Delguy, Newsome, Falgoux and Fischer. The latter, recovered from his concussion (against Racing) returns in an impact-player role. After treating a stubborn knee for many weeks, Falgoux must finally return to competition.
Three more players in the infirmary (Moala, Hemery and Sowakula)
By choice, Tixeront, Tauzin and Newsome did not make the last trip, they will start this Sunday evening against the RCT. Three players joined the infirmary after the USAP: Moala (concussion), Hemery (shoulder) and Sowakula (sprained knee). Remember that Fourcade (cheekbone), Kremer (knee), Dessaigne (cruciate ligament) and Sanga (ankle) are not operational.
