About the match
The undercard to Bilbao's big weekend, and the one with the most variance. Challenge Cup finals reward whoever brings the bigger appetite — Lyon dragged themselves to glory in 2022 by being meaner than anyone else. Two QF/SF survivors arrive carrying league baggage: nobody in this draw is in European pots above this one for a reason. The 21:00 local kick-off favours a fitter side late on. Watch the bench-vs-bench battle in the last quarter; this one usually swings on a 65th-minute lineout drive or a fly-half nailing one off either foot in fading light. First trophy of EPCR weekend, and a route into next season's Champions Cup for the winner.
