Head to Head


Castres and Benetton meet for the first time in a competitive match. 

Castres Form


Castres lost their opening European Rugby Champions Cup Pool 3 fixture 38-8 to the Northampton Saints away from home before reeling off three successive victories. They defeated Munster 16-14, the Bulls 49-10 at home, and Saracens 32-24 away. 

Castres have played twice at home since those results. They beat Lyon 30-25 and Toulon 28-26 in the Top 14. 

Castres have been in great touch at home lately, winning four in a row, including seven of their last eight at their stadium, giving them an advantage over a Benetton side that is not travelling well.

Castres Team News & Injuries


Remy Baget has scored three tries in the Investec Cup this season.

Adrien Seguret has dotted down over the try line twice in the competition.

Louis Le Brun has slotted over three conversions and four penalties thus far.

Benetton Form 


Benetton did enough to advance out of the European Rugby Champions Cup Pool 2 this season. They lost 28-0 to Clermont away, beat Bath 22-21 at home, and lost 35-29 to Bristol away before defeating La Rochelle 32-25 at home. 

Since those performances, Benetton have contested two away games. They lost 43-0 to the Ospreys and 38-30 to Connacht in the URC. 

Benetton must improve their away form to have a chance of beating Castres, as they have lost six of their last eight away fixtures.
