Top 14: after the feat, confirmation is awaited for the MHR against Aviron Bayonnais, today at 3 p.m.

Montpellier reçoit, au GGL Stadium, ce samedi 24 février à 15 h, Bayonne dans le cadre de la 16e journée du Top 14.

Author of an XXL performance against Racing 92 last week (20-44), Montpellier must confirm in its den against a direct competitor for maintenance, Bayonne.

By signing its first away victory, with the bonus, Montpellier took a big breath of air by leaving the last place in the Top 14 to Oyonnax. Facing Bayonne, seven points ahead, the MHR can come back to another competitor, especially since the Basques have yet to win a single away match this season.

For this meeting, Patrice Collazo and his staff made some changes to the victorious team at La Défense Arena. Williams takes the place of right pillar, Tauleigne returns to the cage while Van Rensburg and Simmonds will accompany Nouchi, still captain in the third row. The experienced hinge remains that of Racing 92: Reinach and Carbonel. Serfontein and Vincent return to the center.
