The France-Japan ticket office in Toulouse is opening soon
Ticketing for matches against Australia and South Africa is due to open this Friday, June 10. The one for the meeting between the Blues and Japan in Toulouse will be open during the month of June.
As a reminder, the last trip of the French rugby team to Toulouse dates back to November 12, 2016. Les Bleues then lost a correction to Samoa, 52 to 8, as part of a test match. They also beat the All Blacks in 1995, Fiji in 1999, and Tonga in 2005. In fact, the Blues have not lost any of their seven games played in the Pink City.
