Summer in the South of France and rugby as well? Go on then!
Giants’ next away day is in Perpignan against Catalans Dragons, with one win already under our belt in the cup, we should have a bit of confidence going into the game.

Perpignan is a fabulous city to visit, even if you’re staying in one of the Spanish Costas, try and visit some of the old centre of Perpignan around the Place De Republique and St Jean basilica/cathedral (from Le Castillet, head straight down the busy street and turn left at the crossroads onto Rue Saint-Jean, carry straight on and then left (then right) or right (then left) for Place de Republique, this is where you’ll find Bar & Britz, one of the favourite bars of the Perpignan regulars.
