And if a semi-final of the European Rugby Cup was finally taking place at the Bollaert stadium in Lens? This last minute change was announced on Wednesday April 27 by the organizer of the competition. The reason is not sporting but musical: a Sexion d’Assault concert.
Only if Racing 92 beat Sale in the quarter-finals
The famous group, in which we find Maitre Gims, must perform on May 14 and 15 at Paris La Défense Arena, the room where Racing 92 usually plays. For this European Rugby Cup, the best ranked clubs in the regular phase have the advantage of receiving for the final phases. If he beats the English of Sale in the quarter-finals on Sunday May 8, Racing 92 should therefore have played its semi-final at Paris La Défense Arena.
Deprived of room, the Hauts-de-Seine club will therefore play at the Bollaert stadium if it reaches this semi-final. Opposite, we will find the winner of the clash between La Rochelle and Montpellier.
The question also arises in the Top 14
Will we be entitled to a second coming from Racing 92 to the Bollaert stadium in June? The club faces the same problem in the Top 14 in the event of qualification for a play-off at home. This match is scheduled during Elton John’s concerts scheduled at Paris La Défense Arena.
