First bet of the day: 5units on Montauban -5 @1.90 (Unibet). Enjoy ! Eighth day of D2 Eleventh of Pro D2, the promoted Montauban made a successful start of the season. Montauban has two faces this season; a home where they are undefeated (three wins in three games against Carcassonne, Perpignan and Albi) and away where Montauban has still not win (4 losses). The coaches had decided to implement a turnover last week Colomiers to rest some players. The score has long been a virgin but several montalbanaises mistakes let Colomiers to try in this encounter. The three defensive mistakes of Montauban were sanctioned by three columérains tries. In addition, the conquest in line-out was a disaster with eight shots lost. During the meeting, Montauban lost its third line Thabo Mamojele. Other third Gibouin, Vaingalo and fullback Tafernaberry are also injured. For this meeting, Michael Ladhuie finds its place in hooker, the second line Esclauze - Penalva are back as Byrnes 9 and n°10 Dunlop . Starting XV: Agnesi, Ladhuie (c) Tussac, Esclauze. Penalva, Delarue, Vaotoa, A.Domenech Byrnes, Dunlop, Ascarat, F.Domenech Tupuola, Ruel, Malié. Alternates: Lauga, Tekassala, Snyman, Sergeyev, Chaput, Urruty, Tuifua, Rayssac. Biarritz is ranked seventh in the championship with four wins in seven games. As Montauban, this team has two faces. They are unbeaten at home with four wins in as many meets and lost all their games away. Biarrots are far from serene this season. They won most of their meeting in tears: one point victory against Aurillac, 4 points against Mont-de-Marsan. At their last meeting, they led 16-3 but cracked in the second half, and only led 18-17 before the try of Davies at the last minute. For this meeting, Eddie OSullivan will make five changes. Fly-half Dan Waenga joined the infirmary and gives way to the usual center or back Benoît Baby. The usual winger Rodney Davies will play fullback while Jacques Boussuge will play his first minutes in a competitive match for 21 months. It also rotates the position of props with Eugene Van Staden and Johann Lourdelet which will see his first start. Stephane Clement and Franck Montanella make their first appearance in the group and will start on the bench. The starting XV is a bit experimental with Evans who played the majority of his matches in the back row and will start on the second row. The infirmere is busy with Waenga Gimenez, Couet-Lannes, Lund, Ngwenya, Broster, Marienval, Marie, Cabarry Roussarie. In addition, the third line Alban Placines who took a red card against Dax is suspended. Starting XV: Davies - Hamdaoui, De Luca, Burotu, Boussuge - (o) Baby, (m) Lucu - I. Fono, U. Fono (cap), Molcard - Evans, Soqeta - Van Staden, Noirot, Lourdelet. Alternates: Ruffenach, Montanella, Hewitt, Van der Walt, Boulogne, Le Bourhis, Haget Clement. Biarritz was not convinced at all this season. They have a full infirmary and the bench seems very light. Montauban has made good games and proved that their team was solid. I expect a victory for hosts by at least 10 points.
