The Montpellier and Parisian staff have revealed their team for the clash between MHR and Stade Français this Saturday, March 30 (3 p.m.), at the GGL Stadium.

The teams

MONTPELLIER : Bouthier – Tisseron, Vincent, Serfontein, Dakuwaqa – (o) Carbonel, (m) Reinach – Camara, Bécognée , Van Rensburg – Willemse (c), Duguid – Macharashvili, Tolofua, Erdocio.

With the injuries to Sam Simmonds and Marco Tauleigne, the MHR staff decided to align Alexandre Bécognée in the middle of the third line to face Stade Français. In forecasted complicated conditions with rain on the agenda, power was favored. Hence the tenure of the two strong Paul Willemse and Tyler Duguid in the second line and the presence of a 6-2 on the bench.
