Toulouse have made one change to their line-up for Saturday's Top 14 final against Toulon.
The 18-time champions have named winger Yves Donguy in their starting XV, with Timoci Matanavou dropping to the bench.
That means prop Jean Batiste Poux has been passed fit to start after a bicep injury, with Gurthro Steenkamp joining Matanavou among the replacements.
Toulon, who have twice lost to Toulouse in the domestic final, have also made a solitary change.
Benjamin Lapeyre gets the nod in the No.15 shirt, with Luke Rooney named on the bench.
There is a host of experience in the Toulon line-up, with the likes of Jonny Wilkinson, Matt Giteau, Simon Shaw, Bakkies Botha and Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe all set to start.
However Carl Hayman misses out as the All Blacks prop has failed to have his suspension overturned.
