Facing Saracens, Union Bordeaux-Bègles will be able to count on almost all of its internationals in its back lines. Captain for this European clash, Maxime Lucu forms the hinge with the opener
Mateo Garcia. Mathieu Jalibert being preserved after his knee injury. On the wings, arrows Damian Penaud and Louis Bielle-Biarrey while Yoram Moefana and Nicolas Depoortere.
In the front eight, Coleman and Cazeaux are associated in the cage while Maxime Lamothe is surrounded by pillars Ben Tameifuna and Jefferson Poirot on the front line.
In the absence of Jalibert (knee), spared for the next deadlines, the UBB will field Garcia at the opening but all the other French internationals will be starters (Lucu, Moefana, Depoortere, Bielle-Biarrey, Penaud).
