Already qualified, the MHR is not going to Newcastle without intention this Friday. As usual in this competition, the Montpellier staff is proposing a hybrid team, a mix of experience and youth. The members of the training center Youssouf Soucouna, Aurélien Barreau and Lyam Akrab have a fourth match sheet in Challenge. Third row Romain Delemarle (20 years old, 1.92m, 109 kg), one of the captains of the hopefuls, will make his debut with the pros.

Simmonds captain

To accompany this team, the English third row, Sam Simmonds, was promoted to captain.

Domingo Miotti, absent since the end of September with a knee injury, is making his return as a starter. The Argentinian (10 caps) will wear the number 10. The Georgian pillar Nika Abuladze, also bothered by his knee since the autumn tour with his national team, takes a seat on the bench.
