Analysis of the Béziers Aix-en-Provence match
The stakes of the Béziers Aix-en-Provence match
Béziers are looking for their first home victory while Aix want to secure their first away win. No advantage at the motivation level
The state of form
Béziers has made a solid start to the championship by overturning promoted Nice on its home turf (13-9) as well as former promoted Valence-Romans also away (29-22). Defeated at home by a very solid Biarritz team, Béziers had a match point during a last touch but ultimately lost to a well-established defensive team from Biarritz. For the time being, the Béziers team are in the provisional top 6 of the championship with a 5th place. Last year, the club had already played in the playoffs by eliminating Brive in the quarter-finals before bowing out on the Vannes pitch.
Aix-en-Provence is also a club used to the playoffs. Laverhne’s players and partners reached the final phase last year but had to bow out by a single point against Grenoble in the semi-final. In a match with a taste of revenge, Aix-en-Provence came to snatch a defensive bonus on the Grenoble pitch after winning two home games, against Agen and Montauban, despite conceding two defensive bonuses. Currently on the verge of the top 6, Aix-en-Provence will travel to the Béziers pitch where they won last year’s clash. No advantage on form

The workforce for Béziers Aix-en-Provence
The XV of Béziers : 15. Drilling ; 14. Courtaud, 13. Holder, 12. Tupuola, 11. Tuimaba ; 10. Malié, 9. Marks; 8. Pauta, 7. Ancely, 6. Sunday ; 5. Nkinsi, 4. Benoy ; 3. Judge, 2. Boulassell, 1. Amrouni.
Replacements : 16. Gonzales, 17. Fernandes, 18. Gayraud, 19. Koen, 20. Anon, 21. Lorre, 22. Votu, 23. Fincham.
Having injured his shoulder this week during training, Charly Malié will finally take his place at fly-half alongside Marques at hinge. Behind, no changes have been made by the Béziers staff, who are keeping the same structure. Up front, only two men are being changed for position by position, with Boulassel starting in place of Gonzales at hooker and Gayraud being replaced by Nkinsi in the second row.
The XV of Provence Rugby : 15. Halls ; 14. Lapègue, 13. Bainivalu, 12. Finau, 11. Tui; 10. Soulan, 9. Viallard ; 8. Tyrell, 7. Taïeb, 6. Jalagonia ; 5. Rodda, 4. Zafra ; 3. Francis (cap), 2. Sauveterre, 1. Nostadt
Replacements : 16. Boubila, 17. Toth, 18. Dufour, 19. Gambini, 20. Coville, 21. Plisson, 22. Colombet, 23. Pieretto.
Victim of a concussion protocol on the Grenoble pitch, third row Ned Hadigan will miss this match again. Provence Rugby remains without 4 players in the third row which sees the starting line-up of Tyrell notably alongside Taïeb. In the pack, second row Francis gets his first mandate as captain in the absence of scrum-half Cazenave and with the debut of Coville on the bench. Behind, Gopperth is still too short after his thigh crutch received in Grenoble also, Bainivalu therefore integrates the center with Finau. Soulan will lead the game from the opening.
