While waiting for January 17 and Fabien Galthié’s list for the next Six Nations Tournament, the Bordeaux-Bègles Union can still have its best elements. Yannick Bru and his staff lined up the executives for the Saracens reception this Sunday (6:30 p.m.), on the occasion of the 3rd day of the Champions Cup.

With a Lucu-Jalibert hinge, a pair of Moefana-Depoortère centers and the Penaud-Bielle-Biarrey doublet on the wings, the back lines have a strong XV de France consonance. Romain Buros, fullback, completes the contingent. In front, the fit man Ben Tameifuna is accompanied by Jefferson Poirot and Maxime Lamothe on the front line. Hopeful Marco Gazzotti starts as third-row winger. Two former Australian internationals start: Adam Coleman in the second row and Pete Samu in the third row.

UBB XV: Buros, Penaud, Deporter, Moefana, Bielle-Biarrey, Jalibert, Lucu, Samu, Gazzotti, Bochaton, Coleman, Petti, Tameifuna, Lamothe and Poirot.
