A week after the Champions Cup elimination against Leinster, La Rochelle manager Ronan O'Gara rotates his squad for the trip to Castres, this Saturday at the opening of the 21st day of Top 14. Several executives like Alldritt, Atonio and Botia were placed on the bench, with Australian Will Skelton promoted to captain.
The Jégou-Boudehent-Tanga trio makes up the third line just in front of an Iribaren-Reus hinge. In the absence of Brice Dulin, who had meniscus surgery, Antoine Hastoy will start at the back.
