Castres vs Toulon Preview


This is a match between two sides doing reasonably well in the Top 14 but they are both in poor form. The hosts have lost six of their last eight while Toulon have just two wins in nine.

With the handicap set at five, I feel this will be decided by the bounce of the ball. I’m backing the visitors to get within five points.

  • Castres have lost 6 of their last 8 matches.
  • Toulon have lost 7 of their last 9 matches.
  • Toulon beat Castres earlier this season.

Head to Head


Toulon beat Castres 41-19 at home earlier this season. Last season both sides won their home game.

Castres Form


Castres are currently seventh on the Top 14 table with seven wins and seven defeats in their 14 matches.

Results have been inconsistent of late as Castres continues to fail to put in regular strong performances. Last time out Castres did manage a win, beating Pau 44-33 in the Top 14.

Prior to that, Castres lost 23-20 at home to Clermont in the Challenge Cup and suffered a 35-5 loss to Gloucester.

Castres Injuries & Team News


Castres are also affected by the Six Nations but not as severely as some other sides. They should be able to put out a strong side.

Toulon Form


Toulon have won eight of their 14 league games this season. They are fifth on the Top 14 table.

Concerning for the former European champions will be their form in the Champions Cup where they lost their last two matches to Munster at home and at Glasgow.

They managed a superb 25-23 home win over La Rochelle at the end of January, but then lost 37-32 at home to Bordeaux in their last match.

Toulon Injuries & Team News


Toulon are missing quite a few players to international duty so they will feature a few new faces.

Verdict

Toulon can upset the odds at Castres this Sunday. I am backing the visitors to get inside five points and perhaps get the win.
