After two European weeks, return to the domestic championship for the Top 14 teams. For Montpellier, this means going back into battle to try to leave the play-off position.

During this last block of 6 matches, Montpellier will face 3 teams who are also fighting for their survival, including two at home. The MHR therefore has the cards in hand to maintain itself, to defeat them it will be necessary to find offensive efficiency, Montpellier being the team which scores the fewest points in the championship (19.75 points/match).

While Montpellier will be looking for points, its host of the day, Pau, will not be fooled because the Palois are on the verge of the Top 6 and the final phases in which they do not have to wait. have never tasted.

For this meeting, Patrice Collazo and his staff chose to give the captaincy to Van Rensburg. Ngandebe finds a starting place on the wing, Cadot at center and Japaridze at right pillar continue to increase their playing time at the end of the season.
