At the GGL Stadium, Montpellier hosts the South African Lions during the 3rd day of the Challenge Cup, this Saturday January 11 at 6:30 p.m.
In December, the Challenge Cup allowed Montpellier to get back on track with a success snatched by its young people on the Welsh lands of the Dragons (14-18). Since then, the MHR is on a series of five victories in all competitions and intends to extend this dynamic to a 6th victory this Saturday afternoon.
Aiming for the six pass?
And as in the first two meetings, the Montpellier staff rotate for this meeting and allow players lacking playing time to regain sensations, this will be the case for Tambwe, Vincent at the opening or even Tauleigne. The young people will have their chance again in this Challenge with Martins, Soucouna in the second row, Akrab as hooker or even Bernadet in the scrum. It is also the return of Haouas, replacement, after his latest extra-sporting adventures.
A victory this Saturday would allow Montpellier to secure a place in the round of 16 of the competition and aim for first place in the group, synonymous with a knockout match at home.
