Suggests, to the surprise of no one, that if Ntamack goes down, Ramos will move to 10.

Joris Segonds is out with a knee injury. Galthie has called up Léo Barre

Fabien Galthie's second 42-player squad unveiled for the opening November international against South Africa.

Some changes from the initial squad that trained at Marcoussis this week.

Assuming no injuries among those playing this weekend, this is the 42 from which the matchday 23 will come

That’s R360 dealt with then…

James Harrington @jamesonrugby.bsky.social · 1d

That'll be Antoine Dupont signing a contract extension at Toulouse through to 2031 on the Stade Ernest Wallon pitch in front of a full house at halftime, then

Hmm, don’t know about that. Especially across the 23, Pau much stronger man for man.

Actually a fairly decent result for USAP given they’re under an interim coach.

Fair play Glenn - you called it! 👏🏼

Perpignan bag their first point!💊 At least they can go into the break knowing the first block wasn’t pointless.

Fairly rubbish results at home for Castres and Montpellier despite losing bonus points. First away league points for Clermont.

Montauban conceding an average of 61pts per away game 😬

🔮Top 14 Round 9

A full house of home wins looking likely, so it will be some going for the Top 14 to match the madness we saw in Pro D2 this week.

But let’s be honest, something crazy is going to happen isn’t it…

PROD2 Round 9 Predictions 🔮

The weekly, thankless stab in the dark at predicting the unpredictable!

- SAXV to sneak it against Grenoble
- Always Back The 'Lac
- Wounded Brive to bounce back in style?
- Carcassonne or Biarritz?

Who are folks favouring this week?

🌸 Great news for Stade Francais fans with Brad Weber returning to a rugby field after a truly horrifying ankle injury last season.

He might need to brush up on his Afrikaans though…😳🇿🇦

Looks like Depoortère (rightfully) gets the nod over Gailleton as the reserve back.

Good news for Pau, who regain 5 of their 6 🇫🇷 squad members ahead of their clash with USAP this weekend.

James Harrington @jamesonrugby.bsky.social · 4d

Galthie's first 'protected players' list of the autumn:

Aldegheri, Auradou, Barassi, Bielle-Biarrey, Boudehent, Cramont, Depoortere, Erdocio, Fickou, Flament, Gros, Guillard, Jegou, Jelonch, Le Garrec, Lucu, Marchand, Meafou, Montagne, Ntamack, Penaud, Ramos, Taofifenua

Rosbifs Rugby @rosbifsrugby.bsky.social · 4d

When did Ramos get put back in the squad?

Seems generally accepted he be will playing, and he’s certainly the first name on the team sheet if he’s available, but wasn’t named because of the birth of his child (which has now happened)?

Interesting news!

Labit heavily rumoured, but Joe Worsley feels a bit more left field…

Laurent Labit’s developing a bit of a history of work with English defence coaches: Edwards, Gustard, now Worsley…have we missed any?

James Harrington @jamesonrugby.bsky.social · 4d

Looks increasingly likely that Laurent Labit will become new head coach at #Top14 basement side Perpignan, while Joe Worsley is set to move from Brive to take charge of the Catalan defence, Rugbyrama reports

#Top14 side Perpignan confirm the departure of manager Franck Azema, after 8 defeats and zero points in their first 8 games - the worst-ever start to a Top 14 season

Ugo Seunes goes from Nationale Access Match with Aurillac in June, to French international squad in October!

Very cool, and increasingly looking like an outstanding move to sign him for Racing 92.

Top 14 Round 8 🔮

A belting round, with stacked sides before the internationals sneak off for Autumn.

All eyes on Stade Sapiac where Perpignan face Montauban, in what already looks key in the relegation fight.

Both late KOs are huge.

Away wins to be had, but where? No idea!

Rosbifs Rugby @rosbifsrugby.bsky.social · 9d

You are joking…😂🙃

If you that SAXV side going away to that Brive side and winning comfortably then you might as well take over this account 🤷‍♂️

Genuinely unbelievable.

PROD2 Round 8 🔮

An intriguing round and some split opinion...

Valence will be fancied at home tonight, and there's just a suspicion that Mont-de-Marsan may have turned a corner last week.

Then it's 1st vs 2nd in Colomiers vs Vannes, Friday 9pm. Both sides stacked. Watch out!

Nacewa is a great shout! Most comparable player to Ahki in terms of career achievements.
