Bruno Genesio’s men travel across the Channel to face Leicester. For the Bretons coach, Leicester is above: “It’s a team built to fight for the C1 in the best Championship in the mode, without doubt, with matches committed every weekend, so they are used to this kind of confrontation”.

On the two matches, we will really have to be at our best level. But we trust that we can cause them problems.”
