THE PREDICTION
La Rochelle were granted a bonus point victory by default as their last Champions Cup match with Bath was cancelled and they beat Edinburgh 8-13 away the week previous to give them a great footing in the tournament. The same cannot be said for Montpellier., who suffered the misfortune of hosting Leinster in their first week and then travelling to in-from Wasps to make it back-to-back defeats. Montpellier now have to play the away side again as they face the Top 14’s current leaders here in an imperious mood. La Rochelle’s points difference is, remarkably, +99 after 11 games to show they are powerful at both ends of the pitch and they will be confident of covering -12 at home against their visitors.
