The build up to matches is full of stories, from injuries and bans to shock returns and of course travel dramas and keeping up to date with all that happens to clubs can be frustrating and time consuming.
We take away all of that effort by searching the web to bring you all of the news headlines from sources across the globe.
Stadium
The match takes place at the Stade Gilbert Brutus, the home of the Perpignan based Catalans.
The stadium is one of the easiest to recognise in the league thanks to its bright yellow and red seats, the swimming pool end and for the loud and vocal fans that make there feeling known.
The French are passionate about the sport and that can always be seen on match day, in both good and bad ways, as if the team are performing well, they will get behind there side and can really make the difference.
In making things intimidating for visiting sides, the ground can be a fortress for the hosts, but the fans are also quick to turn if the players under-perform and that can lead to the home players struggle with confidence and trying too hard.
The heat of the southern French summer can also make things tough for both sides and with all of that in mind, it is perhaps not too surprising that we see so many high scoring games at the Stade Gilbert Brutus and with all of the attacking flair on show in this game, that could easily be the same again.
Location
The match takes place in the historic city of Perpignan, close to the French/Spanish border in the southwest of France.
The city is located in the sports French heartlands and has a long history of the 13 a side code even before the establishment of the Catalan Dragons.
As you would expect from the club’s name and branding, the city is located in the Catalan region that spans parts of France, Spain and Andorra and it is that mix of French and Catalan culture that makes the city so unique and such as great pace to visit for away fans.
The passion for the sport in the region easily rivals the other heartland areas of the M62 corridor, NSW and Queensland and that can be seen throughout Perpignan. Especially when the giants of the Wigan Warriors due to play there and the match quickly becomes the talk of the town.
About
