Defending Top 14 Champions, Stade Francais, host new boys Pau in the final match of the opening round of the 2015/16 season. It all points to a victory for Stade Francais, but Pau should not be underestimated, as they were crowned champions of France’s second division a month before the end of the regular season which ensured their automatic promotion. Pau will be eager to cause an opening round upset.
