Adrien Pelissie came on in his place and looks set to start should the skipper be ruled out. Racing 92’s Camille Chat is another option in the front-row but Bourgarit has been added to the group following a fine run of form in the Top 14 and Champions Cup.
Meanwhile, Arthur Iturria has been recalled due to Romain Taofifenua’s injury, which forced the Toulon second-row to miss their clash against the Red Rose.
