Who will join Castres in the final?Some players have already wielded the BrennusIn their respective squads, the two teams each have three players who have already won the Brennus Shield.For Bordeaux: Louis Picamoles (in 2011 and 2012 with Stade Toulousain), Rémi Lamerat (with Castres in 2013 and Clermont in 2017) and Ben Tameifuna (with Racing 92 in 2016). For Montpellier: Florian Verhaeghe (with Stade Toulousain in 2019), Geoffrey Doumayrou (with Stade Français in 2015), Guilhem Guirado (with Perpignan in 2009). Advantage Bordeaux? During the 2021-2022 financial year, Bordeaux and Montpellier crossed paths twice. Each time, the Girondins took over on narrow scores. In Chaban-Delmas, Christophe Urios’ men had won 27-23 at the start of October. On their return in April, the Héraultais had failed by a hair’s breadth (22-23) at home. At the back Compared to the play-off, Urios made 3 changes, with Vadim Cobilas being preferred over Ben Tameifuna as the right prop. Clément Maynadier will be the titular hooker since Maxime Lamothe is forfeited for this meeting, just like Jandre Marais who suffers from a hamstring tear. Recovered from his sprained elbow, Argentinian Guido Petti is making his return to the third row. Cameron Woki is therefore established in the 2nd row for this match. The Gironde attack line has not changed compared to the play-off with the tenure of the pairs Lucu-Jalibert and Seuteni-Moefana. Garbisi rather than Pollard, no “ Fufu” on the score sheet Italian international opener Paolo Garbisi will start in 10, alongside Paillaugue. The good world champion Handré Pollard takes place on the bench. Orphan of Paul Willemse, injured in a knee, Philippe Saint-André continues with his pair Chalureau-Verhaeghe in the cage. Back from a serious injury, the international Arthur Vincent will start on the right wing and Gabriel Ngandebe will be on the bench Saturday night. Fulgence Ouedraogo, who will end his career at the end of the month, is not on the scoresheet.
