Louis Carbonel’s performance will be closely scrutinized. The Parisian opener, who arrived last offseason with a guaranteed starting place, will have to guide his team. Brilliant during the last Parisian victory against Clermont, the French international (5 caps) has already shown some flashes.
As for Racing 92, it is the performance of the other opener, Antoine Gibert, which could weigh in the balance. In the absence of certain executives including Owen Farrell, injured, the Racingman will have the keys to the truck. Gibert notably remains on an excellent score produced in Pau before the international break.
