The blood and gold staff unveiled the XV who will face Colomiers, this Tuesday (5 p.m.), in Michel-Bendichou, for this late match of the 8th day of Pro D2.
As expected, the Catalan club’s coaches have made many changes, just four days after receiving Oyonnax (20-10 victory).
Only four holders from last Friday retain their place in the XV: the right pillar Davit Kubriashvili, the three-quarter center Afusipa Taumoepeau, appointed captain, the winger Jean-Bernard Pujol and the back Melvyn Jaminet.
The three-quarter center Mathieu Acebes is suspended after his red against Oyonnax.
Right pillar Siua Halanukonuka (ankle), hooker Charles Geli (neck), flanker Lucas Bachelier (sprained thumb), opener Matteo Rodor (knee), versatile opener Ben Volavola (neck) and three-quarter Alivereti Duguivalu (shoulder) are packages. The three-quarter Argentine international center Jeronimo De La Fuente will be available in early January.
Left pillar Kevin Tougne, right pillar Akato Fakatika, versatile pillar Terry Philippart, hooker Killian Taofifenua, third row Pierre Reynaud and Genesis Mamea Lemalu, three-quarters Pierre Lucas and Baptiste Plana and full-back or winger Julien Farnoux were not retained in the group.
