This match is crucial for the Parisians who, after two defeats against Munster (33-7) and Saracens (28-18) in their first two matches, managed to relaunch themselves in their group thanks to a substantial victory against Northampton (45-35). This meeting represents a significant opportunity for Stade Français to seize 4th place in the group, currently occupied by Castres Olympique. The stakes are high for the two clubs who will play their last group match this weekend, because only one will be able to qualify for the round of 16.
For Stade Français to grab the qualifying place, they would need at least one improved victory, and for Castres not to take a bonus against Saracens. The Parisians’ last match against Northampton showed a team capable of pulling itself together. To be confirmed.
Spectators will be able to follow the Stade Français-Blue Bulls match live, which will take place on January 18 at 2 p.m. and will be broadcast on BeIN Sports 2.
