Top 14: end of season for Botia (La Rochelle), Danty hoped for the final phases

The heavy defeat conceded against Bordeaux-Bègles caused damage to Stade Rochelais. Fijian center Levani Botia suffers from a broken forearm and will require surgery, according to information from L’Équipe. His season is already over. His friend at the center of the Maritimes attack, Jonathan Danty, suffered an acromioclavicular (shoulder) dislocation in a collision with Girondin pillar Ben Tameifuna and will be absent between three and four weeks. He could make his return during the final stages. La Rochelle is sixth in the standings before the reception on Saturday (9:05 p.m.) at Pau, three days before the end of the regular season.
