Top 14: Clermont with a Lanen-Jedrasiak team on the second line and young people on the bench against Perpignan

Perilous trip for Clermont this Saturday (3 p.m.) in Perpignan in Top 14. The Clermontois (10th, 47 points), defeated in the Challenge Cup semi-final against the South African Sharks (32-31) last week, absolutely need points against a Catalan team in great form (7th, 53 points). For this meeting, Christophe Urios decided to line up a new second line with Lanen and Jedrasiak rather than Simmons or Lavanini. The future Perpignan Beria will continue as left pillar while Dessaigne, Kremer and Yato will form the third line.

Among three-quarters, still no Moala or Raka. Hériteau and Darricarrère will once again be aligned in the center of the attack, like the young Yerim Fall on one wing. On the bench, youth, notably Hemery, Tixeront, Giral, Dzmanashvili and Belaubre, who will celebrate their baptism of fire.

The composition of Clermont: Newsome – Fall, Hériteau, Darricarrère, Jurand – Belleau, Jauneau (cap) – Yato, Kremer, Dessaigne – Jedrasiak, Lanen – Slimani, Beheregaray, Beria

Les replacants: Fourcade, Falgoux, Hemery, Tixeront, Giral, Urdapilleta, Belaubre, Dzmanashvili.
