The LOU very much diminished for the reception of Castres, Bastareaud back

Pierre Mignoni and his men receive Castres this Saturday for the 10th day of the Top 14.

It’s a big shock at home for LOU Rugby. Currently 6th, the Lyonnais face the 4th in the standings and must do everything to win.

On the one hand, they would redeem themselves with the supporters of Matmut Stadium in Gerland after the last two consecutive defeats against Stade Français and Montpellier, on the other hand they might finally show their ambitions for the rest of the season.

But the task promises to be rather delicate given the absence of many players this weekend. Between the injured and those selected for the national team, no less than 13 potential holders will be missing. Pierre Mignoni will therefore have to deal with a group deprived of his main executives, such as Demba Bamba and Taofifenua, who will face Argentina with the XV of France on the same Saturday.

Good news, however, for the coach since Geraci and Cretin will indeed be in the game. The two men were indeed released by Fabien Galthié. Mathieu Bastareaud for him also to make his comeback: the center trained with Les Gones last Thursday.

LOU Rugby – Castres is at 2:45 p.m.
