Chocobares out, Baille in: The probable line-up of Stade Toulousain against Leicester Tigers

Toulouse vs Leicester in the European Cup, this is an opposition that had quite a face at the end of the 2000s, in the HCup. Today, like the Clasico, the poster has lost a little of its splendor, despite an English championship title for the Tigers in 2022.

Despite everything, Handré Pollard's teammates are holding up this season and are in 4th place in the Premiership, when they have won 2 out of 3 matches in the Champions Cup. Even if they couldn't do anything on the UBB pitch (42 to 28) on the first day.

2 to 3 changes expected

So, to welcome them to Ernest-Wallon, Ugo Mola will certainly make certain changes after the journey that his troops had to endure to go play in South Africa and beat the Sharks. Thus, Santiago Chocobares, knocked out, should be replaced by Pita Ahki, to counter the density of the English midfield.

CHAMPIONS CUP. A record since the big HCup: Sharks vs Toulouse sends ratings through the roof

Up front, Cyril Baille could experience his first start of the season in the Champions Cup, he who is gradually finding his rhythm. While the rest of the pack should be unchanged since Alexandre Roumat, Mathis Castro-Ferreira and Richie Arnold are still injured.

Another very big bench for Toulouse

Antoine Dupont, whose thumb was still squeaking against the Sharks, should nevertheless hold his place with a good bandage. Finally, the back triangle could perhaps see the return of Ange Capuozzo as a starter. Even if Lebel, Kinghorn and Ramos, with crumbs, played their match last Saturday.

Juan Cruz Mallia, in the name of his extreme versatility, should once again be on the bench. Accompanied by Marchand, Merkler, Brennan, Graou and others.
