Castres host Clermont in round 15 of the French Top 14.
Castres lie in 8th position with seven wins and six defeats from their 13 matches. They are coming off a 19-9 win over Bordeaux and will look to make it back to back victories in an attempt to climb into a playoff spot.
Clermont is 4th in the standings with seven wins and a draw from their 13 matches. They will be looking to bounce back from a 19-15 loss to Montpellier in the previous round. A bonus point win for Clermont could see them climb into the top two if other results go their way.
