Before facing Lyon on Saturday at Gerland, Castres Olympique unveiled its starting XV, marked by the return of Ben Botica at the opening.
Castres Olympique has delivered its starting XV for the trip to Lyon (Saturday 2:45 p.m.), on the occasion of the 10e Top 14 day.
And with strong choices since Quentin Walcker and Wilfrid Hounkpatin are not on the score sheet.
A lot of changes to report compared to Brive (23-22), mainly in the pack since the Castres staff decided to completely change their first line. Paula Ngauamo and Gaëtan Barlot being retained in the selection, it is Brendan Lebrun who will be responsible for the tailgating, he who had not known a tenure since the trip to La Rochelle in early October. He will be accompanied by the two Antoine, Tichit and Guillamon. Also note the entry into the starting XV of Kévin Kornath, in place of Nick Champion de Crespigny.
In three-quarters, the main news was known last night with the absence of Benjamin Urdapilleta’s group. In Gerland, the hinge will be formed by Rory Kockott and Ben Botica, who have not appeared since the end of September and the defeat at Stade Français.
