THE PREDICTION
La Rochelle recovered well from their defeat to Racing 92 two weeks ago with wins over Toulon and most recently Stade Francais since, though they are looking a little softer than they were at the beginning of this campaign. They had been just behind Toulouse for some time now in the Top 14 but their title rivals’ defeat away to Lyon last Saturday has levelled the playing field spectacularly for this rearranged fixture. Toulouse broke an 11-match winning streak at Lyon and it remains to be seen how that will affect their resolve in back-to-back away trips against the very toughest opponents. This one could go either way but the hosts look able to just edge what should be an intense and entertaining Top 14 clash. La Rochelle know the importance of this match, tied as they are with Toulouse on 58 points but now with a game in-hand. They can establish themselves at the top by covering -2 at home.
