Everything but a long, quiet river, this 2022-2023 season at Stade Rochelais. Grégory Alldritt's teammates, 5th in the Top 14, largely beat Oyonnax (40-21) this weekend in front of their home crowd but are struggling to convince away from their bases and remain with three defeats in a row away from home. A big challenge awaits the Maritimes this Saturday, April 6 against the South African franchise Stormers, in the round of 16 of the Champions Cup. At the DHL Stadium in Cape Town, the competition's two-time title holders will have a tough time facing the recent finalists of the United Rugby Championship.
On December 16, Ronan O'Gara's men lost in the group stages with a score of 21-20. La Rochelle then finished 3rd in pool 4 behind the South Africans and Leinster.
