Ronan O’Gara has brought fly-half Antoine Hastoy straight back into La Rochelle’s starting line-up on his return from suspension for their final match of 2025 at Toulouse on Sunday.

With Ihaia West recovering from a hamstring injury and Deflandre prodigy Diego Jurd rested, Hastoy, whose last outing in November lasted a total 34 seconds, lines up alongside teenage scrumhalf Nolhann Couillaud — in his first Top 14 outing — in a much-changed La Rochelle side for final Top 14 match of 2025 at a sold-out Stadium Toulouse.
