Castres v Montpellier: Teams

Fulgence Ouedraogo: Has been passed fit

Thierry Lacrampe: Will start in the No.9 jersey

Castres will be gunning for revenge when they tackle Montpellier in the Top 14 play-offs on Friday.

Castres crashed out of play-offs at the same stage last season when they lost 18-17 at home to Montpellier.

However Castres will go into the game on the back of four straight wins and with the knowledge they have toppled Montpol twice in the regular season.

Castres have made just the one change to their line up with Thierry Lacrampe preferred at scrum-half ahead of Rory Kockott, who joins Seremaia Bai on the bench,

Montpellier, last season's surprise finalists, have been rocked by injury problems at scrum-half.

Julien Tomas and Benoit Pailllauge will miss out on the clash through injury so teenager Eric Escande will wear the No.9 shirt.

Montpellier, though, have been buoyed by news skipper Fulgence Ouedraogo and full-back Lucas Amorosino have been passed fit to play.
