The Big Boys are back in town. The Top14 is back, and so are we with a special bumper edition to usher in the return of Europe's premier club competition. Can anyone topple Toulouse? Can Montauban muster the magic of last season and beat the odds to stay up? Just how much pressure are the big guns of Toulon and La Rochelle under to deliver silverwear? We run the rule over all the sides, signings and aspirations across the French top tier, as well as a full round of an incredible opening round of ProD2.
