However, their game this weekend at home to Lyon gives them a great chance to get off the mark and keep the group of four very tight. Lyon have started better, they have recorded one victory and one loss so far, a win here for them would give them a nice gap down to Stade Toulousain at the bottom of the table and aid their qualification chances.
