Montpellier vs Biarritz Olympique

Montpellier is 4th of Top 14 and probably play its last match of the season at home. They have to win with the offensiv bonus to have chance to play its quarter final at home. Montpellier is one of the best french team. At home, they smashed a lot of teams (victory by 31 points against Lyon, by 26 points against Agen, 32 against Stade Français). They are almost full this evening.

 

Biarritz is 9th. They are struggling against relegation. They have only 5 points more than Bayonne. This match is however not a target for Biarritz because they perfectly know that they have no chance to win. They will make a turnover for this match. The number 8 Imanol Harinordoquy, the fullbackIain Balshaw and the wing Dane Haylett-Petty, all stay in Biarritz. The scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili (best player of the team), the flanker Benoît Guyot will begin on the bench. Thus, the main centre Marcelo Bosch will play as fullback this evening.
