A long-awaited return. Facing Racing 92, Ugo Mola and his staff can count on their master to play Antoine Dupont, back in the fray after several weeks of absence. With Romain Ntamack, François Cros, Cyril Baille and Anthony Jelonch (substitute), he is one of the five players recently positive for Covid-19 and therefore exempted from the preparation course for the VI Nations tournament, with the France team. For the rest, Sofiane Guitoune is positioned on the wing just like Mathis Lebel, left at the disposal of his club by the staff of the Blues. In front of Rory Arnold and Emmanuel Meafou will compose the second line while the young Ian Boubila (20 years old), holds the heel.
The Toulouse XV: 15. Mallia – 14. Guitoune, 13. Chocobares, 12. Ahki, 11. Lebel – 10. Ntamack (o), 9. Dupont (cap, m) – 7. Tolofua, 8. Miquel, 6. Placines – 5. Meafou, 4. Ro. Arnold – 3. Faumuina, 2. Boubila, 1. Baille.
Replacements: 16. Neti, 17. Ainu’u, 18. Ri. Arnold, 19. Jelonch, 20. Cros, 21. Holmes, 22. Balès, 23. Mallez.
