The Bollaert Stadium in Lens is the St Etienne football club home ground and will be used by the French as one of the grounds for the 2007 Rugby World Cup finals. The Bollaert Stadium will host two of the Rugby World Cup betting favourites in England on the 8th of September 2007 and South Africa on the 22nd of September.

The Bollaert Stadium is regarded as a great supporter's stadium as the stands are very close to the pitch and it is considered to provide one of the very best atmospheres of any of the Rugby World Cup venues.

The Bollaert Stadium has a capacity of 42,200 and while it has not held many rugby fixtures it is one in which all the players will be looking forward to and will almost be a home game for the English considering its location at the tip of northern France.
