The time for vengeance has come for La Rochelle, Perpignan and Montpelier
- 1375
After two days in this 6 Nations Tournament , this weekend will be marked by the 15th day of Top 14 . Several beautiful posters on the program and above all the challenge between this very particular period marked by the absences of internationals. Are we going to see any surprises, particularly outside?
Oyonnax will notably move without pressure on the Toulouse pitch with a small idea in mind: to bring down the reigning champion and stop his great series of five successes in a row in all competitions. In the first leg, the Oyomen were not unworthy, losing by only six points (21-27). We then played the third day and the Tricolores were also missing. Will the visitors do better on their return?
There is clearly revenge in the air during this 15th day. In particular on the Gerland lawn where LOU will welcome La Rochelle . The Maritimes have found some color in recent weeks but are still behind in qualifying.
Winning in Lyon would be a great achievement. They have undoubtedly not forgotten the disappointment against the Lyonnais almost a year ago, 16-20, on the 17th day.
Like the Rochelais, the Héraultais of the MHR will also want to play a bad trick on Racing 92 on Saturday. And for good reason, at the end of October, the Ile-de-France residents managed to win 19-16 at the GGL Stadium. At the time, Montpellier was in a very bad situation and had suffered eight losses in a row. Since then, they have found some color, notably winning the Challenge Cup .
Like LOU, they must collect points to get out of the bottom of the ranking where they occupy 14th place. If they have not been brilliant on the road so far, the slightest bonus could make the difference when it comes time to do the accounts at the end of the season.
Another club in difficulty and in search of victories, Perpignan . Traveling to Paris , the Catalans will not have an easy task against the co-leader of the championship with Toulouse. Like the Rochelais or the Héraultais, they are undoubtedly revengeful after the 29 to 7 spanking received in August on the first day by the Parisians.
