Today’s Rugby Kick-Off is about Top 14! At a time when the XV of France is back in action, the question of duplicates comes back to the fore. Is a team deprived of its internationals being cheated? This is part of the debate of the day! Not forgetting the Dream Team predictions, the games and the pre-match speech.
For the first time this weekend, several Top 14 teams will play without the presence of their internationals, retained by the staff of the French XV. In total, 23 of the best French players will be missing from their team for this ninth day of the championship. A scenario that will repeat itself for the Argentina match and during the VI Nations. So, can we say that Stade Toulouse, Bordeaux or La Rochelle, the teams most affected, are harmed by these weeks of duplication? This is the subject of our debate of the day!
For this new show we are lucky to have Romain on set, leader of the ranking of our Dream Team predictions. Difficult to anticipate the results of this weekend, for our specialists the two leaders Bordeaux and Toulouse will fall, but in the field not everyone agrees with this prediction. And then like every week, find the News in Mêlée, we talk in particular about the return of Oscar Jegou, the players sent back to the club for the Top 14 and Beauden Barrett.
