The match takes place at the ‘Temple to the Oval Bowl’ in the city of Toulouse which gets its name from the fact that is plays host to both the cities 13 and 15 aside teams as well as hosting both international test matches in League and Union, including when the national test team have played host to the Kiwis, the Kangaroos and the English national teams.
More formally known as the Stade Ernest-Wallon, the stadium is a large bowl like set up, where 3 stands are the same size, are all-seater and each wrap around the corners of the ground.
The final side of the stand, that also wraps around the corners, is slightly smaller stand that completes the stadium and that allows for around 19,500 fans to watch live in attendance.
