Team News
There are three changes to the starting line-up of the team that played Leeds Tykes last weekend. Nils Mordt comes in at inside centre to allow Mike Catt to switch to fly half. Ryan Strudwick returns in the second row while Kieran Roche comes into the back row in place of the injured Kieron Dawson. Declan Danaher moves across to openside flanker. Unavailable for selection through injury are: Kieron Dawson (knee), Adrian Flavin (neck), Darren Edwards (jaw), Rodd Penney (hamstring), Peter Poulos (knee) and Paul Sackey (ankle).
Commenting on Saturday's match, Gary Gold, Head Coach, said, "We have no illusions about the difficult task facing us in south west France this weekend. Auch beat Agen two weeks ago so we will have to improve significantly on last week's performance against Leeds. While our selection options are restricted by our serious injury list, we believe we have picked an experienced team that is more than capable of coming away with a result."
