Stade Le Fargues
Avignon, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Stade Le Fargues, Avignon, France — opened Not confirmed in sources checked, 1 rugby league games hosted, home of US Avignon Le Pontet 84 Rugby (rugby union).
Sourcing caveat: A conflicting score (44-2) for the 1994 match was found in one secondary extraction; direct re-fetch of Rugby League Project's own match page confirmed the correct score as Australia 64, France XIII 9, matching Rugby League Project's venue-page attendance figure of 1,500 exactly.
Ground facts
| Opened | Not confirmed in sources checked (Rugby League Project carries this ground under two separate database entries with slightly different names and locations: 'Stade De Fargues' (Le Pontet, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, hosting a 1986 match) and 'Stade Le Fargues' (Avignon, Languedoc-Roussillon, hosting the 1994 match recorded here). These are almost certainly the same physical ground -- the Stade de Fargues sports complex in Le Pontet, a suburb directly adjoining Avignon, home of rugby union club US Avignon Le Pontet 84 -- with the region field on one entry appearing to be a data error, since Le Pontet/Avignon is genuinely in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, not Languedoc-Roussillon. This entry covers the venue as Rugby League Project records the 1994 match specifically; the two RLP entries are very likely duplicates of one venue rather than two distinct stadiums.) |

Name history
- Stade De Fargues / Stade Le Fargues — used inconsistently across two separate Rugby League Project database entries for what is very likely the same ground; also known as Complexe de Fargues
Rugby league history
This ground hosted two Australian Kangaroos tour matches against French representative sides: Le Pontet XIII lost 5-42 to Australia on 3 December 1986 (recorded under Rugby League Project's separate 'Stade De Fargues' entry), and France XIII lost 9-64 to Australia on 30 November 1994 in front of 1,500 fans, the match recorded under this entry -- confirmed directly against Rugby League Project's own match page after an initial research pass found a conflicting score (44-2) elsewhere that could not be reconciled and is not used here.
