Am I right in thinking that the French teams have the benefit of playing in municipal stadiums, saving a significant amount of costs?

Certainly Toulouse do so

A good many do. However, I think Stade Toulousain own their own ground? Never been, but have driven past. Impressive from the fleeting glimpses I had.

Stade Toulousain is not municipal.

It’s part owned by the club, and part owned by a sort of charity organisation. Les Amies du Stade Toulousain.

I did a survey of how it works re. Municipal Stadia in France a couple of years ago while under lockdown.

The municipal stadia are generally town centre, and locals turn up for what ever is on. And tickets are (were, when I did the research) generally very cheap.

Rugby coverage on Premier Sports is OK providing you can get a decently priced package which I was fortunate to do.


I started with a free two month trial. Then, when I cancelled I was offered a further two months for half price (£7.99 per month). At the end of that I cancelled again and was offered the same thing again!

I think the golden rule with BT/SKY/Prem Sport etc is to always say (very nicely) that you aren't going to renew and then wait for the much reduced deal to be offered. It's a silly game we have to play with TV, insurance and the like.
