West sends the kick deep towards the 30 metre

Romain Poite sounds his whistle as we kick this game off.

Welcome to the Stade Marcel-Delfandre where La Rochelle play host to Toulon. This will be the firsts timein 6 months that these two sides will make their way onto the field with many new signings.

From the home side, Will Skelton, Dillon Lleyd and Raymond Rhule are just some of the playings that will look to make a huge impact in their tenure.

On the Toulon side, ironically, they are without Eeben Etzebeth and Gigashvili today. These are two individuals they would have been hoping would have had a positive impact on this game.
