For the 12th day of the Top 14, beautiful posters will be on the menu. Starting with a clash of titans between Union Bordeaux Bègles (2nd) and Stade Toulousain (1st). At the bottom of the table, Pau and Toulon will not have the right to make mistakes.

This Saturday at 9:05 p.m. on Canal +, all rugby lovers will be in front of their screens. The Top 14 offers for this 12th day a poster, a shock, a peak of our championship. Solid runner-up with 38 points on the clock, Union Bordeaux Bègles receives the Toulouse leader (40 points) in a Jacques Chaban-Delmas stadium in Bordeaux which will probably be full. A meeting that could give another color to the season in the event of Girondin success. Otherwise, with or without a bonus, Stade Toulousain would offer itself a small mattress and a “joker” as the holidays approach. On paper, the trend is clearly in the Haut-Garonnais camp. Since October 2011, the Stadistes have won fifteen times for a draw and only five defeats. Better, the group of Ugo Mola remains on four successes in a row. A meeting which will pit the international half-openers Matthieu Jalibert in Bordeaux and Romain Ntamack in Toulouse. Associated with the tricolor jersey, they will be opponents this Saturday evening. No more automatisms and friendships.
Toulon no longer has the right to make mistakes
The pack of pursuers – starting with Montpellier (3rd) – could take advantage of this face-to-face event in the event of a sharing of points in particular. Hérault residents struggling at home with two losses against Toulouse (15-17) and Clermont (20-22), but who opposed the USAP (13th) have a great opportunity on Saturday at 3 p.m. on Canal + shifted to garner points and thus put pressure on Toulouse and Bordeaux. At the same time, Lyon (6th) will want to be intractable at home against Brive (10th), just like Clermont (8th) against the red lantern, Biarritz (14th). At 5 p.m. on Canal +, RC Toulon (11th) far from the expected level on the Toulon harbor will be at the Hameau de Pau stadium (9th) for a match that will be very, very expensive. In ambush, La Rochelle (4th) regains color after a sluggish start to the exercise. Defeated 4 times in 5 outings, the Rochelais have just chained 5 victories in 6 games and will therefore aim for a 6th success on Sunday evening at 9:05 p.m. live in front of the Canal + cameras on Jean Bouin’s lawn facing the Stade Français.
