The French champions have decided to come and prepare for the meeting on Saturday March 25 (6 p.m. at Aimé-Giral) in Canet. They will spend four days in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
Ninth in the Top 14 six days from the end of the regular phase, Montpellier, defending champion, has not yet given up hope of qualifying and being able to defend its Brennus shield during the final stages. For this, it will be necessary to achieve a course almost without fault.
With six points behind sixth place, the last qualifier for the play-offs (44 points, against 50 for Bayonne, sixth), it will be necessary to try in particular to perform outside, starting with the trip to Aimé-Giral, Saturday March 25 (5 p.m.). To better prepare for this meeting, Montpellier has decided to organize a “commando course” in Canet-en-Roussillon, before the meeting.

Philippe Saint-André’s men will leave after the meeting in Montpellier after a four-day stay.
