Lyon Game

[NigelB]

Do we know whether we are home or away for the Lyon game?

[RogerE]

As Lyon are already selling tickets I should think away!

[Westy68]

Away and likely to be on Friday night

[Neils]

Away and likely to be on Friday night

This definitely and air fares shot up overnight

Not very often, just 8 appearances so far.

[Heathen]

Not even on the bench yesterday. An expensive squad player.

[KevinO]

Confirmed as 13:30 local time on Saturday.
Top price tickets seem to be €30.

[Heathen]

Should be no problem getting a ticket. Stadium capacity is 35K.

[HDAWG]

Tell you what, Lyon will be a hell of a test, and I'm excited for it.

[MarleyWasp]

Wisely, or most likely not, I've booked a flight to Lyon, leaving Heathrow at 7.50 on Saturday morning, landing 3 hours before kick off. Fly back from Geneva to Gatwick the following afternoon.

That's weird, the Beeb had us down as being at home in their match report

The BBC can't even get the weather for now (wherever you are in the UK) right, let alone a match report.

A well known phenomena: Gell-Mann Amnesia

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.” 
– Michael Crichton (1942-2008)

Going to be a tough game, as hugely talented squad at Lyon.

Bamba, Chiocci, Kodela, Taofifenua x 2, Geraci, Kpoku, Lambey, Cretim, Bastareaud, Goujon, Taufua, Coulloud, Doussain, Sopoaga, Barassi, Ngatai, Nakaitaci, Tuisova... gonna have to man up across the board.
