THE PREDICTION
Toulouse lead the Top 14 by three points after 15 matches played but second-placed La Rochelle have a game in-hand over their visitors here to make this match one of the most important this season. They have an almost identical record with just four points of difference between them coming into this and it looks like it shall be an incredibly tight and possibly low-scoring game. Both sides are coming off hefty wins, with Toulouse putting 59 points past Agen without reply to win their 10th game in a row and La Rochelle beating Bayonne 40-3 to extend their own winning run to five. The home side has won this fixture in the past three editions, though two of those have seen hosting Toulouse victorious and their imperious run does suggest they can break that home spell here. Victory for the visitors looks the likeliest outcome. Perhaps you could add less than 40 points scored for some value but it would be a risk in what should be an excellent top of the table clash.
