Bayonne XV
Selected XV and bench unverified at the 2 October 2026, 16:52 SAST cutoff. Checked abrugby.fr, the official LNR round-five match sheet and focused current-week team searches; no selected team was verified. Probable teams, training groups and previous-round selections are excluded, leaving personnel dimensions ungraded.
Stade Francais Paris XV
Selected XV and bench unverified at the 2 October 2026, 16:52 SAST cutoff. Checked stade.fr, the official LNR round-five match sheet and focused current-week team searches; no selected team was verified. Probable teams, training groups and previous-round selections are excluded, leaving personnel dimensions ungraded.
Key Matchups
No selected-unit edge is asserted before the XVs and benches are verified; “close” in these placeholder rows means ungraded. Robert du Preez (Bayonne) has 32 points in 3 Top 14 appearances at this four-round cutoff; Louis Carbonel (Stade Francais Paris) has 23 points in 3 Top 14 appearances at this four-round cutoff. These are past contributions, not proof that either player is selected this weekend. Announced Paris half-backs or a materially changed Bayonne front row could erase the small result-based advantage. The league results remain the only graded basis beyond venue and head-to-head.
Match Forecast
Bayonne get the six-point provisional lean after a useful 20–17 away win and two current-season home victories. The recent rivalry has consistently rewarded the hosts, although 35–34 is the reminder that this can be very tight. The result-based case is sensible without claiming an unverified pack advantage. The seven-dimension net is +4; the unmodified two-way house output is 73% for Bayonne, with no separate draw probability.
Paris arrive after beating Lyon 31–10 and the selections remain unconfirmed. The 70–28 defeat at Pau is still in Bayonne’s four-game sample; one recovery does not prove the defensive issue has vanished. No backline credit is awarded until the actual players and reserves are known.
Provisional — Bayonne by 6; selected XVs and benches are unverified.
Provisional: Home and away selected XVs and benches; three personnel dimensions are ungraded.
