Any rugby games during late Sept, mid Oct in Paris, Barcelona, or London?

Question

I'll be visiting Paris, Barcelona, and London from late September through mid October and would like to watch a rugby game for the first time. It's my first trip to Europe and my friends say catching a rugby match is a must. Can anyone give me some ideas about how much tickets will cost and what teams I should particularly go watch? Thanks.

Answer 1

For rugby union matches in London.

I do not know much, but I assume London Wasps would be one side for London.  You can see the list of matches to be played at

I am assuming also that they play at Adams Park.  The name of the stadium is Causeway Stadium, and ways of getting there are available from

Guinness Premiership: Wasps Getting There Page

http://www.guinnesspremiership.com/131_2...

This page will show you the information about the London Wasps home game tickets and the price

I also noticed the London Irish, they play at the Madejski Stadium.  Ways of getting there are available here

The link to the tickets does not work, so try this one instead

London Irish

Cannot help with the French sides, as I do not know French and do not know the regions of France in regards to the competitions.  I cannot get anywhere in this competition page. The page can be found at

Fédération Française de Rugby (FFR)

www.ffr.fr/index.php/ffr/rugby_francai...

or the translated (by yahoo) version at

Once again, I do not speak spanish, and cannot get a translated site from Yahoo! on this one.

Clicking on the Calender of Competitions link will bring up a pdf document with a schedule of the games played. One competition starts on the 10 September, while the others start on the 15 October.
