RUGBY. TOP 14. Without Dupont and reworked: Toulouse reveals its composition against Bayonne

This Sunday, Stade Toulousain travels to Bayonne without some of its internationals. A match at Jean-Dauger which will not be a cakewalk against the Basques.

Ugo Mola made a large turnover, certainly forced by the absence of Antoine Dupont and the other Tricolores, but which is also part of the strategy of the red and black to maintain freshness until the end of the season.

There will still be a good crowd against the Bayonnais with in particular Brennan in the cage or Willis in the third row. Enough to cause problems for the locals in the rucks.

The hinge will be composed of Graou and the Mallia Swiss army knife. We know the quality of the Argentinian who very rarely disappoints, no matter where Mola chooses to play him.

Behind, Canes with Lebel on the wing, Barassi or even Delibes in the center. Behind, the Scottish Kinghorn will be there to provide protection under the high balls of Camille Lopez.

Jelonch released and holder

We find another Tricolore who had been made available by Fabien Galthié in the person of Anthony Jelonch. The third row will have a role to play in leading his team to victory.

We note the return of one of the best players of last season. Castro-Ferreira indeed honors his first match sheet of the season. And we know his offensive qualities.

As a reminder, Stade Toulousain has not won in Bayonne since 2020 and a 24 to 20 success. Supported by their public, the Basques will be keen to resist the championship leader.
