The debates did not concern all the positions at the time of constituting the typical team for the 2020-2021 season of Top 14. Some were unanimous, or almost. Thus at the back, the Rochelais
Brice Dulin
receives five of the six votes (the last going to the Castres Julien Dumora). Even less discussions on the wings where the Lyonnais
Josua Tuisova
and Toulouse
Matthis Lebel
, the two best test scorers in the championship, fill up the votes. In the center, Toulouse's
Pita Ahki
(5 votes) and Castresian
Thomas Combezou
(3) stand out. At the hinge, hardly any suspense either. Bordelais
Matthieu Jalibert
collects 5 votes (1 for Carbonel) and Toulousain
Antoine Dupont
4 (1 for Lucu, 1 for Kerr-Barlow).
On the front side, some choices also do not suffer from any dispute.
Thus
Grégory Alldritt
(5 votes, 1 for Castresi Jelonch) and
Sekou Macalou
(5 votes) in third row.
The trio is completed by Bordeaux's
Cameron Woki
(3 votes), just ahead of his partner Guido Petti (2), captain Briviste Saïd Hirèche and the revelation of Racing Ibrahim Diallo each inheriting one vote.
The Australian
Will Skelton
collects plenty of votes in the second row, for a team with the Toulouse
Rory Arnold
(4).
No more frontline discussions.
On the left, the Rochelaise revelation
Reda Wardi
collects half the votes, ahead of Cyril Baille (2) and Jefferson Poirot 1. Ditto on the right where the Parisian
Paul Alo-Emile
(3) is ahead of Toulouse Charles Faumuina (2) with one voice and the Montpellier '' Momo '' Haouas.
In tailgating, a close match won by Rochelais
Pierre Bourgarit
(3) ahead of Racingman Thierry Baubigny (2) and Castres Gaëtan Barlot (1).
