You saw it at the level of the hinge: it will be war. Whether with Léo Coly, Cobus Reinach potentially holders and without forgetting Gela Aprasidze, or Louis Carbonel, Paolo Garbisi, places will be expensive. Likewise in the middle of the attack. Arthur Vincent was positioned on the wing here as in the final won against Castres a few weeks ago. But not sure at all that Philippe Saint-André wants to keep him at this point on the pitch. With the World Cup approaching, Arthur Vincent will no doubt wish to regain a starting position in the center of the Blues attack. A complicated task on paper, but you never know.

So, the Gabriel N’Gandebe or Vincent Rattez, too, would be competing for places in the starting XV on the wings, without forgetting Julien Tisseron. The arrival with great fanfare from the UBB of winger Ben Lam, seems to indicate that the latter has been recruited to start. The Montpellier staff could take advantage of his power, as was the case with Nemani Nadolo a few seasons ago.

The advantage of such a workforce is obviously to allow players to rotate and rest during the season. But when it comes time for the final stages or important matches, the serious questions will arise. Hinge, line of attack, so many questions that Cist supporters will ask themselves during the recovery. For now, they are enjoying this first title.
