Leinster’s James Ryan looking forward to ‘proper’ French test at Clermont
The proper French cauldrons don’t faze James Ryan.
Although Leinster lost at La Rochelle’s Stade Marcel-Deflandre in a Champions Cup semi-final, they also won a pool game there and Ryan describes it as “very cool” and a “proper rugby ground”. He has a similar regard for the Stade Jean-Dauger, where Leinster beat Bayonne in January.
