Tonight’s meeting is between two teams who dream of the title of champion of France next week.
Montpellier is chasing its first title in the top flight and finished the regular season in second place in the standings. The Héraultais therefore qualified directly for this semi-final, but remain on a defeat in Clermont, during the last day of the regular phase.
For their part, the people of Bordeaux ended the Top 14 season in 3rd place in the ranking. Christophe Urios’ players had to go through a barrage against Racing to reach the semi-final stage. Pro D2 champions in 2011, UBB never won the Shield of Brennus and failed in the semi-finals last year.
