Reassured in the Top 14 after its great victory against Bordeaux-Bègles this weekend (27-10), Lyon returns to the European Cup. The Rhone residents challenge the South African franchise of the Blue Bulls in the round of 16 this Saturday, April 6, at the Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria. An opponent that the Lyonnais know well having faced him - and beaten (29-28) - in the group stages on December 16.
This is only the second time that LOU has qualified for the round of 16 of the competition, after 2021. Facing the South Africans, who have been competing in the European Cup since last season, Fabien Gengenbacher's men can hope achieve the best result in their history on the European scene. Blue Bulls-LOU, a match to follow at 1:30 p.m. live with commentary on the Figaro website, but also on television with our colleagues at beIN Sports 1.
