The essential
Facing Montpellier this Friday at the Stade de France, Castres is aiming for a 6th shield from Brennus.
For their part, the Héraultais are still chasing their first national title after two finals played in 2011 and 2018.
Castres-Montpellier, it was already the poster for the final of the Top 14 in 2018. The Tarnais had imposed themselves quite largely on the score of 29 to 13.
In the semi-finals, the Castres overcame Stade Toulousain (24-18) while Montpellier dismissed Union Bordeaux-Bègles (19-10).
