And I'm the good guy, here to confirm ASM/Connacht, even with the kick-off hour, 8 PM, just after La Rochelle/Oyo you read in the article :P

Offiial website of Issoire City, announce even a firework afterward!!

So don't worry, be happy and come to France B)

PS : of course Clermont could have cancelled but I really don't think so...

Bit of bad tidings here, the following article (at least going by my schoolboy French and google's Pythonesque translation) suggests that the Challenge Auvergne we're signed up to has nothing to do with and does not feature Clermort.

www.lamontagne.fr/auvergne/actualite/dep...montee_11068796.html

Confirmed teams are ourselves, Oyannax and La Rochelle.

Because they are waiting for the other(s) friendly venue(s) to announce globally?

Might be nice to make a long weekend of it.

Only question I have is, why do we have to find out from their website and not from the Connacht Rugby site. :( :( :(

looking at 2012 fixtures there were 4 teams : llanelli, ospreys, narbonne and Clermont
in 2013, Zebre, Tarbres Pyrenees, Clermont and wasps.

I assume Clermont are involved again. Not sure if its round robin or just 2 matches. In other words we may only be involved in the warmup act.
