Top 14 has postponed the match between RC Vannes and Union Bordeaux Bègles due to disruptions linked to social movements.
The French National Rugby League (LNR) has officially changed the date for one of the key matchdays of the Top 14 season. The match between RC Vannes and Union Bordeaux Bègles, originally scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, has been rescheduled for Sunday, November 8. This decision comes in response to logistical uncertainties generated by recent social movements affecting transport in several regions of France.
To ensure the match goes ahead, the venue has also been changed. Instead of being played in Vannes or Bordeaux, the match will take place at La Beaujoire stadium in Nantes. This compromise solution was chosen by the French rugby regulatory body to ensure optimal accessibility for fans and delegations from both clubs despite ongoing strikes.
The exact kickoff time, which was set for 2:30 PM, has not yet been definitively confirmed. LNR authorities are currently working on validating the television slots and necessary technical arrangements for the new date. Both teams have received the official notification and are adapting their preparatory schedules accordingly for this 24-hour delay.
Fans of Racing Club de Vannes and Union Bordeaux Bègles are invited to consult the latest official communications from the clubs and the league for specific details regarding the kickoff time and access procedures to La Beaujoire stadium. The priority remains the safety of participants and adherence to the sports calendar despite current external constraints.
