THE PREDICTION
Castres heaped more misery on struggling Toulon last time out with a 10–22 victory on the road for a rare away win in the Top 14. That result snapped a three-match losing run across all competitions and having sat out last weekend’s action they should be well-rested at home, where they are unbeaten in eight matches all season long domestically. Travelling Lyon are in some serious form, though, with a 26-22 victory at home to Stade Francais last time out taking them up to third in the table before this weekend’s fixtures. They take a six-match winning streak across all competitions to Castres but it is worth noting that their back-to-back away victories have both come at lowly Perpignan. Backing Castres to edge this one at home seems a reasonable risk but you could be forgiven for handing them a +1 head-start.
