Bayonne vs Toulouse
Surprise package Bayonne take on the log leaders Toulouse in this Top 14 encounter. The home side have made an incredible start to the season as they are currently in third spot with 22 points. They are seven points behind the champions but a win in this match could take them to within three points of the leaders. Bayonne have proven exceptional on their home patch as they have notched up four wins in a row. They have been miserly in defence and only conceded 68 points in those four wins. Toulouse will do well to upset Bayonne as they will be without their international players.
TIP: Bayonne are unlikely to make too many changes from the team that easily beat Racing 92 two weeks ago. They will be looking to their powerhouse England centre Manu Tuilagi to wreck havoc in the middle of the field with his barnstorming runs. It will be interesting to see Toulouse select in the nine jersey to replace their talisman Anton Dupont. He will be the player that they miss the most as he is the general in the team. The bookies have Toulon as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.20, SoccerShop 1.20 and Bettabets 1.20

PREDICTION
Bayonne have been playing an expansive exciting game especially on their home patch. The experienced former French number nine Maxime Machenaud has been pulling the strings in attack. He has not lost any of his old spark despite his age and has been one of the main reasons for his team’s early season success. Toulouse will be looking to their midfield maestro Pita Ahki to step up in the absence of their international players. The match is likely to be decided in the forwards and Bayonne have the edge in the pack as the visitors are severely depleted. I am predicting a Bayonne win by 10 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
