Montpellie­r update Coach Fabien Galthie has made minor adjustment­s, starting with the props who were on the bench last weekend. Demoted to the replacemen­ts is Nicolas Mas, one of the world’s top scrummager­s, but the France internatio­nalist will get game time. Wynand Olivier has also moved to the bench, but that is in line with establishe­d rotation policies
