Ill, Sam Whitelock should still hold his place for his premiere. Jack Maddocks (ankle) is recovering, Reece Hewat (neck) too. Many injuries are still to be deplored: Thibaut Hamonou (hamstring), Brent Liufau (ankle), Steven Cummins (neck), Paul Tailhades (knee), Grégoire Arfeuil (sprained knee) Sacha Zegueur (finger tendon), Clément Mondinat (meniscus), Eliott Roudil (knee), Clément Laporte (Achilles tendon) and Ignacio Calles (Achilles tendon) are still out.

Infirmary: if he will have to undergo additional examinations this Monday to know the exact duration of his unavailability after his shoulder injury, fly-half Benjamin Urdapilleta will not in the meantime be on the match sheet for this UBB reception , replaced by Anthony Belleau. Note the exit from the group of New Zealand number 8 Pita-Gus Sowakula, disappointing last week in Pau.

The probable XV of Bordeaux-Bègles : 15. Ducuing; 14. Uberti, 13. Moefana, 12. Tapuai, 11. Tambwe; 10. Garcia, 9. Lucu (cap.); 7. Bochaton or Vergnes-Taillefer, 8. Tatafu, 6. Diaby; 5. Douglas, 4. Petti; 3. Tameifuna, 2. Maynadier, 1. Poirot.

Lekso Kaulashvili (finger), Jandre Marais (knee), Yann Lesgourgues (knee), Connor Sa (Achilles tendon) and Adam Coleman (ankle) will not return until 2024.

Infirmary: including the group of aspiring professionals, no less than nineteen absent due to injury were recorded by the Lyon staff this week, the latest being neither more nor less than number 8 and captain Jordan Taufua , victim of a broken finger in Bordeaux. And if several returns seem imminent (notably those of Léo Berdeu but also of centers Semi Radradra and Josiah Maraku), it is with a particularly destitute workforce in the second and third line that Fabien Gengenbacher will have to compose.

The probable XV of Montpellier : 15. Bouthier (cap.); 14. Lamb, 13. Doumayrou or Vincent, 12. Shepherd, 11. Ngandebe ; 10. Carbonell, 9. Reinach; 7. Camara, 8. Nouchi, 6. Becogne or Doumenc ; 5. Chalureau, 4. Tauleigne ; 3. Lamositele, 2. Karkadze, 1. Erdocio or Forletta.

Infirmary: once is not customary in a Top 14 club, the Hérault club’s infirmary is almost empty! Center Geoffrey Doumayrou returned to competition against Castres last week, and co-captain Yacouba Camara should hold his place despite being hit against CO. Only Florian Verhaeghe, hampered by calf pain, is out of this trip to Lyon. The only uncertainty, however, was that several Montpellier players suffered from gastroenteritis in the middle of the week.

The probable XV of Bayonne : 15. Tiberghian; 14. Erbinartegaray, 13. Hodge, 12. Mori, 11. Baget; 10. Lopez (cap.), 9. Rouet; 7. Héguy, 8. Cassiem, 6. Huguet; 5. Paulos, 4. Ceyte; 3. Tatafu, 2. Acquier, 1. Perchaud.

Infirmary: Facundo Bosch, slightly injured, is still unavailable this weekend. Peyo Muscarditz (broken rib against Munster), Sireli Maqala (slight sprained ankle) and Pieter Scholtz (torn calf) are not fully recovered and ready to return to the squad. Quentin Béthune (dislocated elbow) is still recovering. Gaëtan Germain, in the rehabilitation phase, is expected at the start of the year.

The probable XV of Racing 92 : 15. Spring; 14. Taofifenua ou Arundell, 13. Fickou (cap.), 12. Saili, 11. Naituvi ou Taofifenua ; 10. Tedder, 9. The Bail; 7. Baudonne, 8. Lauret ou Joseph, 6. College; 5. Palu, 4. Sanconnie ou Chouzenoux; 3. Nyakane, 2. Tarrit ou Chat, 1. Kolingar.

Substitutes : 16. Chat or Tarrit, 17. Ben Arous, 18. Rowlands, 19. Chouzenoux, 20. Hall or Le Garrec, 21. Meliande, 22. Chavancy, 23. Laclayat.

Infirmary: before this trip to Bayonne, English manager Stuart Lancaster had granted four days of rest to his men, who only resumed training on Thursday afternoon. Will it be enough to find landmarks and compete on the banks of the Adour? Answer imminent…

The probable XV of Toulon : 15. Jaminet ; 14. Drean, 13. Fainga’anuku, 12. Smael, 11. Villiers ; 10. Biggar, 9. White ; 7. Ollivon (cap.), 8. Du Preez, 6. Abadie ; 5. Ribbons, 4. Halagahu ; 3. Gigashvili, 2. C. Tolofua, 1. Prisoner.

Substitutes : 16. Singleton, 17. Devaux, 18. Alainu’uese, 19. Isa, 20. Danglot, 21. Hervé, 22. Tuicuvu, 23. Brookes.

Infirmary: ill at the start of the week, Jaminet remains uncertain at the time of writing these lines. Domon is ready to replace the French international full-back. Baubigny (hand) resumed the race, Paia’aua (calf) and Waisea (vacation) participated in training with the collective. These three elements are expected at the beginning of next year. Isa and Alainu’uese have recovered from slight physical pain. Anthony Étrillard (Achilles tendon) still has no return date, Serin (shoulder) must resume in the first third of the year and a return for the end of March is mentioned.

The probable XV of Stade français : 15. Barred ; 14. Hamdaoui, 13. Stephen, 12. Ward, 11. Dakuwaqa ; 10. Seconds, 9. Weber; 7. Macalou, 8. Habel-Kuffner, 6. Briatte; 5. Azagoh, 4. Halaifonua ; 3. P. Alo-Emile (cap.), 2. Peyresblanques, 1. M. Alo-Emile

Substitutes : 16. Ivaldi, 17. Castets, 18. van der Mescht or Pesenti, 19. Hirigoyen, 20. Gimbert, 21. Henry or Boudehent, 22. Laloi, 23. Gomez Kodela.

Infirmary: Georgian pillar Sergo Abramishvili is on leave. Paul Gabrillagues, usual captain of the pink soldiers, should not make the trip to Var, thus leading the Parisian staff to start the usual flanker Tanginoa Halaifonua in the cage, alongside international Pierre-Henri Azagoh. Lester Etien, very versatile, should start in the center, the Englishman Joe Marchant being slightly injured since the match against Rochelais.

The probable XV of La Rochelle : 15. Dulin; 14. Thomas, 13. Sergeant West, 12. Favre, 11. Leyds ; 10. Reus, 9. Kerr-Barlow (cap.) ; 7. Botia, 8. Cancoriet, 6. Bar. Boudehent; 5. Skelton, 4. Lavault of Picquette ; 3. Anthony, 2. Lespiaucq, 1. Wardi ou Sclavi.

Infirmary: if Rhule can finally train, it is still too early for Bourgarit, hit in the shoulder in the Champions Cup. Even if the pain, of a muscular nature, should not keep him from the field “too long”. The staff remains without Nowell (hand), Paiva (knee) and Haddad (knee). Excluded from Paris last Saturday, Danty is suspended before his appearance in the disciplinary committee next Wednesday. Thomas has served his suspension and is applying. Alldritt, who resumed group training on Wednesday, is making his comeback to competition.

The probable XV of Toulouse : 15. Mallia or Capuozzo; 14. Capuozzo or Delibes, 13. Guitoune, 12. Chocobares, 11. Tauzin; 10. Germain or Mallia, 9. Graou or Germain; 7. Placines, 8. T. Ntamack, 6. Willis; 5. Fa’asalele, 4. Brennan; 3. Laulala or Ainu’u, 2. Merchant (cap.), 1. Neti.

Substitutes : 16. Mauvaka or Cramont, 17. Ainu’u or Laulala, 18. Vergé, 19. Castro-Ferreira or Placines; 20. E. Retière or Graou, 21. Tauzin or Delibes, 22. Bituniyata or Barassi, 23. Laulala or Merkler.

Infirmary: many players, widely used since the start of the season, were left to rest for this trip. On the other hand, the club will find Paul Graou, injured in an ankle in recent weeks. Julien Marchand, Jack Willis, Juan Cruz Mallia, Théo Ntamack and Ange Capuozzo had already returned recently. All hands will be on deck this Saturday evening. Dorian Aldegheri (neck), Thibaud Flament (foot), Paul Costes (knee) and Arthur Retière (ischios) are still absent. Romain Ntamack (knee) is in the rehabilitation phase.

Infirmary: Adrea Cocagi is still serving his suspension following the red card he received against Edinburgh in the Champion Cup. Romain Macurdy underwent shoulder surgery to reduce a dislocation and is expected to be out for four months. Quentin Walcker is treating pubalgia, just like Matthew Tierney who is returning from an ankle injury. Return planned around January 10 for Ryno Pieterse after his wrist injury in October. Martin Laveau and Filipo Nakosi are back in training, as is Jack Goodhue who could apply to join the squad for the Perpignan reception.

The probable XV of Perpignan : 15. Dupichot ou Barraque ; 14. Veredamu, 13. Sawailau, 12. De La Fuente (cap.), 11. Acebes; 10. Allan, 9. Ecochard ; 7. Oviedo, 8. Fa’aso’o, 6. Bachelier; 5. Tanguy, 4. Orie; 3. Roelofse, 2. Lam, 1. Chiocci.

Substitutes : 16. Jincharadze, 17. Lotrian, 18. Tuilagi, 19. Sobela, 20. Rodor, 21. McIntyre, 22. Dubois, 23. Joly.

Infirmary: scrum half Tom Écochard was the victim of a slight crutch against Bayonne without consequence while the return of Sadek Deghmache is also becoming clearer in this position. Alivereti Duguivalu is expected to miss the next four weeks. The third line must face several defections since Lucas Velarte, Kélian Galletier, Alan Brazo and Mathieu Ugena will not be available for this trip.
