Head to Head


Black Lion and Vannes meet for the first time in a competitive match. 

Black Lion Form 


Black Lion finished second to last in Pool 3 of the EPCR Challenge Cup last season, securing five points from four matches after registering one victory and losing three.

Their solitary triumph came against the Scarlets away from home, winning 23-7.

Black recently captured their fourth Rugby Super Cup title after winning all four of their fixtures by defeating Castilla y Leon Iberians 54-3 away, Lusitanos 38-14 away, Castilla y Leon Iberians 47-21 at home, and Lusitanos 36-0 at home.

Black Lion have been playing well lately but now face tougher opposition in Vannes, although their opponents have struggled to win regularly playing away from home this season. 

Black Lion Team News & Injuries


Giorgi Tsutskiridze, Akaki Tabutsadze, and Tengiz Peranidze scored three tries each in the recent Rugby Europe Super Cup. 

Luka Matkava scored 46 points in the competition, including two tries. 

Vannes Form 


Vannes will compete in the EPCR Challenge Cup for the first time in their history after gaining promotion to the Top 14 at the end of last season. 

Vannes have contested six away matches in the French top flight this season, losing 34-31 against Stade Francais, 54-19 against Toulon, 26-24 against Montpellier, 55-33 against Clermont, 32-13 against Perpignan before beating La Rochelle 23-14. 

Vannes have struggled in their first campaign in the Top 14, especially on their travels. However, they picked up a solid away win against La Rochelle last weekend, boosting their confidence in their opening EPCR Challange Cup match against Black Lion. 

Vannes Team News & Injuries


Maxime Lafage has scored 95 points for Vannes this season. 

Salesi Ryasi has scored four tries in the Top 14 thus far. 

Verdict

Vannes regularly play against superior opposition than Black Lion and is tipped to cover the handicap.
