Stade Rochelais is going through a complicated season. In addition to being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup by Leinster, the Maritimes are experiencing a very chaotic run in the Top 14. After the slap received on the UBB pitch, Ronan O’Gara’s players – who will be deprived of Botia and Danty – are only sixth in the standings and could be ejected from the top 6 in the event of a setback this Saturday against Pau, seventh by just one point.

More constant this season, the Paloise Section is aiming for a first qualification for the final phases of the Top 14. This decisive meeting can be followed on Saturday May 18 on Canal but also live with commentary on our Figaro website. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:05 p.m.
