I'll be in Toulouse for the France v New Zealand game on the 31st. Any grounds I'll possibly pass on the way back to Girona on the Sunday? If possible I'd quite fancy to catch a game.

Depends which way you're going back, without trying to sound too flippant.

Le Cabardes are just outside Carcassonne, then there are the ones around Perpignan - Baroudeurs, Baho, Le Barcares, Apt. Of those, I'd suggest Baho

Toulouse past Carcassonne, just south of Narbonne then down past Perpignan to Girona.
Found Baho on the map. Thanks

They've buggered about with the format given the numbers. This first round sees twenty of the clubs outside the top flight play off.
The next round sees Corbeil, winners of Élite 2 last season, join the ten winners. Three clubs will get byes while the other eight face off.
The following round sees the nine Élite 1 clubs, the four winners and the three receiving byes play off and then it's straight knockout with the semis on neutral ground.
Questions?

It's out of necessity really given the numbers involved.

Albi are through, 40-24 winners over Lyon.

Other results are beginning to come through.
