Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle face a late season-defining match on Sunday night as they look to round off the penultimate round of Top 14 season by inflicting a first home defeat on newly crowned Champions Cup winners Toulouse.

O’Gara has selected his strongest available squad for the match – relocated to the 33,000-capacity Stadium Toulouse, with tighthead Uini Atonio set to play his 300th match for the club, in his 13th season at Marcel Deflandre, and fellow France international Reda Wardi back in the starting line-up on the other side of the front row.
