Mariano Galarza started for Bayonne today in the club’s home win over Toulouse. The upset result underlines the unpredictability of the French domestic league.
After seventeen rounds of the 2019-2020 Top 14 season, Toulouse are in 7th position. Bayonne’s win today sees the club up to 9th, but this may change tomorrow.
Bayonne have 33 competition points at present, while Stade Français are bottom with 24. The standings indicate that the battle to avoid relegation is likely to run the duration of the season.
Galarza joined Bayonne from rivals Bordeaux. This season is his second in the Top 14 and he has previously played five years in the English Premiership for Worcester and Gloucester. However, his first foreign club was Leinster in 2010.
