We're underway!!

Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of this top 14 clash where newly promoted La Rochelle host the illustrious Stade Toulousain. La Rochelle have had a tough introduction to life in the top flight, a respectable showing against Brive was follwed by a bright start but ultimately a heavy defeat against champions Toulon. This leaves them pointless and rooted to the foot of the table.In contrast, Toulouse are two from two early days with wins against Oyonnax against Castres, as well as picking up a bonus point against the latter, meaning they sit in second place with only points difference separating them from leaders Toulon.
