France international Gregory Alldritt will be out to impress an audience of one on his 150th professional outing for La Rochelle as they meet Racing 92 in front of a sold-out Stade Marcel Deflandre crowd on Sunday night.

Alldritt, at one time an early name on Fabien Galthie’s teamsheets, has struggled to maintain his usual consistency in recent months. Although he will head back to Marcoussis on Monday, fitness permitting, his name was notably absent from the national coach’s list of ‘protected players’ who were retained at French rugby’s headquarters this weekend ahead of next Saturday’s match against South Africa at Stade de France.
