Bordeaux's players created the dynamic for the season by beating champions Toulouse at home in August. PARIS: France's Top 14 makes a brief reappearance this weekend between the European Champions Cup and the Six Nations with a pair of heavyweight clashes as second-place Lyon host third-place Toulon while champions Toulouse welcome leaders Bordeaux.
France coach Fabien Galthie has released 14 of his squad from training at Nice for this weekend but he has kept 28 core players to prepare for the Six Nations opener against England on Feb 2."For me these aren't problems," said Patrice Collazo, the Toulon coach.Toulouse topped their Champions Cup group and Toulon and Bordeaux-Begles did the same in the second-tier Challenge Cup.
Toulouse are still struggling to establish consistent domestic form. They are also hardest hit by France call-ups with five men away this weekend, although Galthie, surprisingly, released his most experienced fullback, Thomas Ramos, to play for Toulouse.
