THE PREDICTION

Castres pulled the surprise of the weekend in the Top 14 as they held giants Toulouse to a 16-16 draw on the road. That mammoth effort will certainly bring the 12^th-placed side some confidence coming into this Friday night clash with another heavyweight opponent in Bordeaux. After a slow start to their new campaign the visitors have strung together two big wins against lowly Agen and Bayonne last time out and they will be confident of racking up the points against the side with the third-worst points difference. Castres can contribute to a big total score here but Bordeaux should be too good for their hosts in a match that goes north of 40 points.
