If the preparation of the XV of France for the World Cup occupies the minds of a large part of supporters (especially since Ntamack’s package, as well as Baille’s injury), let’s not forget that our beloved Top 14 resumes this weekend! Indeed, the French championship will begin with the meeting between Bayonne and the reigning French champion Toulouse, who, as you can imagine, will once again have to call on his bench depth. But now, the meeting that interests us here is the one concerning the LOU, as well as the RCT. Scheduled this Saturday at 4 p.m., the match will finally be postponed to 6:10 p.m.at the same time as the 3 matches of the multiplex (Oyonnax vs Clermont, Castres vs Pau, and Perpignan vs Stade Français).

Indeed, hot weather is expected in Lyon this Saturday afternoon (around 38°C). As a result, the LNR, in agreement with the broadcaster Canal +, has therefore decided to postpone this meeting by 2 hours, in order to preserve the health of the players : ‘‘Due to the exceptionally high temperatures expected at the time of the match and in order to preserve the health of the players, the LOU / RCT meeting scheduled for Saturday at 4 p.m. is postponed to 6:10 p.m.”.
XV OF FRANCE. Ramos, Jalibert… Who will be Romain Ntamack’s replacement for the World Cup? Originally scheduled on Canal +, the meeting has therefore been added to the multiplex (on the same channel). On the other hand, you will be able to follow this match in particular, on the Rugby + channel. As a reminder, earlier in the day, Racing 92 will host UBB at 2 p.m. Finally, this first day will end with a shock on Sunday evening, between Montpellier and La Rochelle.
