For its second trip in a row to the Stade Français, this Saturday, October 5 (4:30 p.m.), the MHR has largely rotated its squad.

Rest! That's the key word for Nouchi, Camara, Darmon, Cadot, Duiguid and Hounkpatin. These players have played every game since the start of the season. And the staff has decided to give them a break.

The lineups

Montpellier:T. Vincent – Bridge, Vincent (c), Powell, Tambwe – (o) Miotti, (m) Bernadet – Tauleigne, Simmonds, Van Rensburg – Willemse, Chalureau – Japaridze, Tolofua, Tabarot.

Substitutes: Uelese, Forletta, Martins, Bécognée, Vunipola, Coly, Moustin, Haouas.

Stade Français : Barré – Dakuwaqa, Ward, Delbouis, Etien – (o) Henry – (m) Weber – Briatte, Tanga, Chapuis – Van Der Mescht, Gabrillargues – Mr. Alo-Emile, Peyresblanques, Koffi.

Substitutes: Meite, Castets, Pesenti, Macalou, Gimbert, Carbonel, Jonas, Gomes Kodela.< /p>

Van Rensburg returns

For this trip to the Stade Français, Joan Caudullo breathes blood costs. Five players will play their first minutes. New recruits Nicolas Martins, Jordan Uelese, Chris Powell and Maël Moustin will make their debuts in the Montpellier jersey. Janse Van Rensburg, retained with the Springboks to play in the Premiership, did not play a minute and was keen to play the as soon as possible. His return is more than welcome, especially for the touchline sector, which has been struggling since the start of the season.

Pillars Lucas Tabarot and Mohamed Haouas, absent since the first day, re-join the group.

On the Parisian side, the former MHR player, Louis Carbonel will start on the bench.
