Cheslin Kolbe, easily one of the most recognisable figures on a rugby field, would be welcomed back in Cape Town with open arms.
Stade Francais face off against Lions in Challenge Cup Round 3 on Sat 14th January 2023 at Stade Jean Bouin. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 13:00. In South Africa it’s at 15:00 SAST, 02:00 NZST in New Zealand, 00:00 AEST in Australia and 05:00 EST in the US.
Stade Francais won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 1 place in the league table with Lions in 3rd and Stade Francais in 4th underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Stade Francais vs Lions will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
