This Saturday at 2:30 p.m., Toulon hosts Racing for the 14th day of Top 14. Pierre Mignoni expects a tough match to start the year 2025 despite the poor form of the Ile-de-France residents.
“We are preparing for a big match, against a big team who will come here with a lot of intention. We are faced with a wounded beast, always very difficult to counter,” announces Pierre Mignoni. A distrust displayed despite the very poor dynamic of Stuart Lancaster’s men, 9th, and who remain with only one victory in the last 6 matches in all competitions. Opposite, the Varois, undefeated at home this season, intend to build on a sparkling end to 2024 and these 6 victories in 7 matches to further consolidate their place in the top 6 of the championship.
Toulon with Abadie, Racing without Fickou
Pierre Mignoni can have a smile, he will be able to count on the return of one of his strong men from his training, the third row Esteban Abadie. On the other hand, Rayan Rebbadj and Jean-Baptiste Gros are still too limited to resume this weekend. This afternoon, Toulon advances with a competitive team with a Serin – Garbisi hinge and an XXL 3rd line with Isa, Ollivon and Ludlam.
Victim of a broken thumb, Gael Fickou was operated on a few days ago and will therefore be absent for this match against the RCT. Stuart Lancaster nevertheless lines up a nice pair of centers with Chavancy and Tuisova. Woki starts on the 3rd line.
