Spanish soccer club Barcelona wants to host a French rugby league match at the Camp Nou next year.

Barcelona says president Sandro Rosell and Perpignan counterpart Paul Goze have agreed to a collaborative agreement between the Catalan clubs, which would include Perpignan playing a match in the Catalan capital.

Fantastic news though I see that they managed to get a whinge at the state of the pitch in ahead of the game.

the related articles point to it being a RU match.

That's what I thought when it read Perpignan rather than Catalans.

Shame theyre talking about USA Perpignan, misleading title really.

Having said that I'm sorry to say I'd prefer RU embarrases themselves with under 25,000 in the Neu Camp than RL. Although I would like it if there was a late Challenge Cup round in the 'mini Neu Camp' (?) (their smaller stadium?), I can dream...
