Will Skelton is set for a run out in time for La Rochelle’s Champions Cup trip to Leinster next weekend after he was named on the bench for Sunday evening’s Top 14 match against Toulon at Stade Marcel Deflandre.

Skelton’s return from an ankle injury is a timely piece of good news for Ronan O’Gara as the second half of the domestic season kicks off.
