It all started 22 years ago in a small, hostile stadium in Mazamet...
Rassie Erasmus will lead a travelling party of around 40 players and support staff from Shannon this morning, in preparation for tomorrow’s round-one clash with Castres at Stade Pierre-Antoine.
Back in 1995, there was a much smaller expedition which left Shannon on the morning of Wednesday, November 8 and flew via London to Toulouse for a game that night not in Castres but in nearby Mazamet at the small town’s municipal Stade Antoine Bergere.
