As such, a healthy travelling faithful is set to back them at the Stade Gilbert Brutus, with the club confirming last night that more than 800 tickets had already been snapped up and that an extra allocation is now on sale via the Warrington Wolves website.
Supporters will also be pleased to know that away supporters will once again be housed in the corner of the Tribune Puig-Aubert behind the posts.
In recent years, Warrington's visits to Perpignan have seen fans dotted around in various areas of the ground including in two temporary stands with limited views, but they will now move back to the usual away section of the stadium.
All seats are reserved and it has been stressed by both clubs that supporters must sit in their allocated seat.

Arsenal, PSG Transfer Target Makes €3.2M Wage Demand to Valencia
PSG could be heading into a transfer battle with Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus, and Real Madrid for one of Spain's most promising young defenders. But Arsenal have already taken the early lead, reportedly reaching a personal agreement with the player. Despite boasting one of Ligue 1's top defenses last season, PSG's backline is beginning to show signs of wear. Lucas Hernandez has returned to action but is still working his way back from a serious injury. Marquinhos remains a vocal leader, though he's lost some of the explosiveness that once defined his game. Advertisement Presnel Kimpembe continues to play an important role off the pitch, but concerns about his fitness linger. Luis Enrique is encouraged by Lucas Beraldo's progress, but for now, the Brazilian is still viewed as a rotational option rather than a regular starter. Arsenal, PSG target's agent makes demand to ValenciaAccording to a report from Fichajes, Sergio Barila — the agent of Cristhian Mosquera — has raised concerns within Valencia CF after publicly expressing dissatisfaction with the club's latest contract proposal. The report states that Valencia have offered an improved deal through 2028, including a gross salary increase to around €3.2 million. However, Barila reportedly believes the terms still fall well short of what Mosquera deserves given his ability and long-term potential. Advertisement The message is clear: unless the club improves its offer in the coming days, Mosquera could begin exploring options to continue his career elsewhere. Recently, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Arsenal have agreed on personal terms with Mosquera. After Valencia rejected Arsenal's initial €14 million bid, the club is preparing a new offer—the Premier League side hope to complete the deal for a fee over €20 million, with talks currently ongoing. Marca has reported that Real Madrid are already weighing their options for next summer's free agents. Arsenal left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly and Mosquera are among the names on their radar. Foot Mercato reported that Mosquera is on PSG's transfer radar this summer to continue injecting youth into the center-back position. A key player for Valencia, the Alicante native could be sold by the club to boost its finances. Nonetheless, it seems Arsenal have the upper hand in this race and if they present an offer that satisfies Valencia, then the Gunners will come away with the talented young defender.

Roosters and Rabbitohs premiership-winner tipped to retire one year early
Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs favourite Luke Keary is reportedly set to retire at the end of the 2025 season cutting short his move to the Super League. Keary won a premiership with the Rabbitohs back in 2014, before making a controversial switch to cross-city rivals the Roosters and winning two titles. Last year, Keary made the surprise decision to move to the Catalans Dragons in France on a two-year deal after backflipping on his retirement. However, it appears the halfback does not have it in him to play another season with reports the 33-year-old set to retire after the current Super League season. Keary was outspoken recently about the standard of the Super League, which saw him cop a fine from the governing body. But it appears Keary has just had enough and feels it's time to give his body a rest. And the reports have ignited questions over whether the halfback could be seeking a move back home. NRL commentator Andrew Voss questioned whether a NRL team would want to sign Keary on a one-year deal in 2026. Reporter Michael Carayannis suggested Keary is happy in France and most likely won't seek a return to Australia to play in the NRL. But it wouldn't stop a club potentially approaching him. "I don't think he has got the motivation. That is my understanding of it all. I think his family is really enjoying life in France and I think if he had that desire to play on, he would fulfil that second season," Carayannis said on SEN Radio on Thursday. "It wouldn't stop a club from asking the question, but I think his time in the NRL is all but done." The Dragons have endured a tough season in the Super League as they sit ninth on the ladder. They have only won six of their 16 games this season and will struggle to make finals footy. The Dragons sit five points off qualification. Keary originally announced he would be retiring at the end of the 2024 season, despite signing a contract extension with the Roosters for the following year. The three-time premiership winner has had a history of head knocks and concussions and fans accepted he was ready to step away from the rigours of rugby league. "After 12 seasons and 27 years playing the game I love, I have decided this will be my last and that I will be retiring at the end of the year. It's a decision I have had thought long and hard about and I know it's the right one for me and my family," Keary said on Monday. "Rugby league has been a huge part of my life, and I'm proud of the career I've had. Rugby league is the ultimate team sport, and I wouldn't be here today without my teammates, coaches, support staff, family, friends and mentors." RELATED: Gorden Tallis responds after Billy Slater tipped to make sad decision Fresh push for change as anger over Walsh and Kiraz selection grows However, the playmaker made a late decision to sign a two-year deal with the Dragons for a change of scenery after feeling he had more to give rugby league. The decision to leave the Roosters meant he forfeited the final year of his lucrative contract, which was reportedly worth around $800,000. Keary has played more than 200 games in the NRL after making his first grade debut for South Sydney in 2013 and winning a premiership with the Rabbitohs the following season. He then made the switch to arch-rivals the Roosters in 2017 and was an integral part of the back-to-back premiership triumphs for the Tri Colours in 2018 and 2019 - striking up a brilliant halves combination with Cooper Cronk.

Scott Robertson names 4 new caps in the All Blacks lineup to play France in the 1st test
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson has named four new caps including Netherlands-born lock Fabian Holland in his team to play France in the first rugby test at Dunedin on Saturday. Holland has been named in the starting lineup along with Crusaders backrower Christian Lio-Willie. Chiefs prop Ollie Norris and Hurricanes backrower Du'Plessis Kirifi are on the bench. The 22-year-old Holland was born in the Netherlands and moved to Christchurch as a teenager to play high school rugby before signing with the Dunedin-based Highlanders, first at age-group level, then in Super Rugby. Lio-Willie was initially named in Robertson's squad for the France series as injury cover from Chiefs backrower Luke Jacobson. He has been promoted into the starting lineup in place of Wallace Sititi, World Rugby's Breakout Player of the Year last year, who has an ankle injury. Lio-Willie will play at No. 8 while Ardie Savea will start on the openside flank and lock Tupou Vaa'i on the blindside. 'This is a huge moment for these men and their families,' Robertson said of the new caps. 'We are all thrilled for them. 'For Fabian and Christian, it will be special to debut in front of a Dunedin home crowd and I am sure Fabian's Highlanders supporters and Christian's Otago fans will be out in full force. Ollie and Du'Plessis have both shown their class in Super Rugby this year and we know they are ready.' Robertson has moved regular outside center Rieko Ioane to the right wing and has named Billy Proctor in the No. 13 jersey for his third test. Proctor will combine in midfield with Jordie Barrett who missed the Super Rugby season while playing for Leinster in Ireland. All three Beauden brothers are in the starting lineup with Beauden at flyhalf and captain Scott at lock where he will combine with Holland. Will Jordan will start at fullback while Damian McKenzie has been named on the bench. Sevu Reece is on the left wing. France has sent an understrength team for the three-match series, choosing not to select players who were involved in the final rounds of the French Top 14 competition. Still, France has a record of beating the All Blacks when least expected. France beat New Zealand 30-29 in the last match between the teams at the 2023 World Cup. 'Facing France is always special,' Robertson said. 'They bring intensity, flair, and physicality. As a group we've had a fantastic 10 days together, preparing for the three-test series ahead of us.' The teams are scheduled to play the second test in Wellington on July 12 and at Hamilton a week later. ___ AP rugby:
