Match postponed to Sunday

The National Rugby League (LNR) has approved the postponement of a Top 14 match between Vannes and Union Bordeaux-Bègles, originally scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., to Sunday, November 8. The match will take place at the Beaujoire stadium in Nantes, though the exact kickoff time has not yet been set.

Kickoff time uncertain

According to one report, the match will take place in the afternoon on Sunday, while another source states the time remains to be determined. The decision was made at the request of the prefecture due to the availability of law enforcement personnel. The broadcast on Canal+ is maintained.

High demand for tickets

The match has generated significant interest, with 35,322 available tickets sold in less than an hour during the opening of ticket sales on October 21. This match is notable as Vannes has chosen to host Union Bordeaux-Bègles at the Beaujoire stadium in Nantes, following a previous match against Toulouse at the Roazhon Park in Rennes.

Relocation reflects growing interest

The relocation reflects the growing enthusiasm for the Breton club. In addition to the Vannes-Union Bordeaux-Bègles match, the LNR also rescheduled another match of the 9th round. The Stade Toulousain-Clermont match, originally scheduled for Saturday at 4:35 p.m., has been moved to 2:30 p.m. The French national team will face Fiji on Saturday evening in Lyon.
