he fully enclosed stadium with a capacity of 16,593 takes some beating.

USA vs NZ Rugby 2021 stream   Known as The Bullring, this ground has seen visiting teams wilt before games have even started over the years.

The atmosphere can be off the scale.

When Llanelli Scarlets played out there in 1998, the man on the public address system revved up the crowd by repeatedly pumping out Cher’s song Believe.

There were high fences around the pitch and the rabid Catalan support made it the toughest place for opponents to win in France.

For passion with a serious edge, the fully enclosed stadium with a capacity of 16,593 takes some beating.

There is history to it, too, with the name honouring a former club captain who died in the First World War, which claimed the lives of seven Perpignan players. There is a fine memorial located at the stadium entrance to them all.

No rugby spectating experience is complete without a visit to Clermont Auvergne’s wonderful venue on matchday.

The ground isn't the biggest, housing 19,022, but when Clermont play the stands are drenched in yellow, from the jerseys to the placards which supporters hold aloft when their side takes the field.

Visiting players have been known to feel they are not so much taking part in a rugby match as a gladiatorial contest.

It is a special, special place. ABs v USA Rugby 2021 tickets
