Head Coach, Mark Jones, said: “We played to a very high-level last time out against the Scarlets, but we know we’ll have to improve this week against Lyon. They are a very dynamic team, with a lot of athletic players that can create line break opportunities on a moment’s notice.
“There was a great atmosphere at the Swansea.com Stadium and we’re hoping to see something similar this week. It made a massive difference, having everyone get behind the boys, and I know our supporters will get behind them again for this Quarter-Final.”
This is our 2nd consecutive EPCR Challenge Cup Quarter Final, but this time, it's at home. This is a huge opportunity, but the boys need you there to bring the noise 👇
