The RCT without Serin, but with a confident Villiere
For its last trip of the year, Toulon will do without Baptiste Serin. The hinge is made up of Danglot and Hervé, who was preferred to Garbisi. Pierre Mignoni continues to trust some of his executives. Ollivon keeps his place as flanker and captain. Villiere is also renewed, after his double last weekend against Section Paloise.
L'UBB sans Jalibert et Buros
It’s a Bordeaux-Bègles Union for the big nights that Yannick Bru has lined up. Classic among the forwards, with the return of hooker Maxime Lamothe. Ahead, the armada is out. Maxime Lucu finds his place in the fray and his captain's armband. A hinge formed with Joey Carbery, and not Jalibert. Another important absence, the now French international, Romain Buros, who leaves his place to the Louis Bielle-Biarrey rocket.
Hello everyone
Welcome to this live commentary of the “Boxing Day” rugby shock this Saturday. In Chaban-Delmas, Union Bordeaux-Bégles hosts the third-place finishers in the Top 14, RC Toulon, for its last match of the year.
Valuable points also to be taken to conclude 2024 at the top of the championship, since Yannick Bru's men are engaged in a long-distance duel with Stade Toulousain.
On the other hand, the Varois, who are on a very good series of four consecutive victories in the championship, can catch up with their evening opponent, or even overtake them.
Many issues, a shock at the top… it's to be continued on this live broadcast from RMC Sport. Kick-off 9:05 p.m.
