Last game of the regular season
The star
Noa Nakaitaci scored 8 tries in 22 games with the LOU this season. Previously ignored by Jacques Brunel, he could make his return to the French team, since he is on the list of 65 players pre-selected for the 2019 World Cup in Japan.
The ex
Many of ex FCG players are in the Lyon side. We have chosen to highlight Albertus Buckle. The South African loosehead prop is expected to play his last match with the LOU on Saturday at the Stade des Alpes. He had worn the FCG jersey 75 times between 2011 and 2015.
The last game
In a similar configuration (the FCG had been relegated, Lyon had qualified for the finals), the "Rouge & Bleu" had beaten the LOU 53-21 on 6 May 2017 (Eddie Sawailau, Dylan Jacquot, Lilian Saseras, Arnaud Héguy, Alexandre Dardet and Nigel Hunt had scored for the FCG)
The last games
The Lyon team remained on two wins at Matmut Stadium in Gerland, against La Rochelle (29-19) and Bordeaux (34-10). These two victories enabled the Lyon team to secure a home play-off.
The next games
The Lyon team will play a play-off match in their stadium.
