After Rennes, Nantes? Vannes could leave La Rabine for a second time this season.

Le Télégramme reported on Tuesday that the upcoming round 9 team sheet on the Ligue nationale de rugby website placed the game at the Stade de la Beaujoire, a 35,000-seat ground. RC Vannes has made no announcement. Its ticketing page, due to open on 21 October, still lists La Rabine. On Wednesday morning, the match page on the Top 14 website showed no venue, only the weekend of 7-8 November.

Vannes have already played one home game away from Vannes this season. On 19 September they hosted Stade Toulousain at the Roazhon Park in Rennes and lost 23-29 after leading 13-0.

The fixture also matters in the table. After five rounds, Vannes are bottom of the Top 14 with one point and no win. Bordeaux-Bègles are fourth on 15 points.
