For the trip to Lyon this Saturday evening, the star scrum-half, who started in the Champions Cup against Glasgow last Saturday, is once again a substitute.
Starting for the first time since his return last week in the Champions Cup, Antoine Dupont returns to the bench for the trip to Lyon, this Saturday as part of the 12e Top 14 day.
It is Paul Graou who will start at scrum-half, associated with the Scot Blair Kinghorn at the opening. Romain Ntamack is in fact absent, benefiting from the compulsory week of leave due to participants in the November tour. Other Blues are on vacation (Neti, Cramont, Meafou, Gourgues, as well as the Italian international Ange Capuozzo and the Argentine second row Elias).
