THE PREDICTION
Castres were somewhat out of their depth in the Champions Cup but two close defeats at home to Harlequins and at Munster is pretty impressive fare that they took into a 19-20 victory at Perpignan on Boxing Day. They are unbeaten at home in the Top 14 and their overall form has been generally great this campaign, with qualifying for the play-offs likely if they continue in this way. Travelling La Rochelle destroyed Lyon 25-3 on Monday to back up a Champions Cup victory over Glasgow Warriors earlier in December. They have lost their last two matches on the road and five of six away games in the Top 14 this season, so taking Castres to edge this outright seems a reasonable outcome here.
