Loads of Champions and Challenge cup for us this weekend. Here's the Champions cup fixtures

Friday 16th

8pm Bath vs Edinburgh
8pm Pau vs Bulls

Saturday 17th

13:00 Sharks vs Clermont
15:15 Bayonne v Leinster
15:15 Stormers vs Leicester
17:30 Toulouse vs Sale
17:30 Munster vs Castres
20:00 Gloucester vs Toulon

Sunday 18th

13:00 Bristol vs Bordeaux
15:15 La Rochele vs Harlequins
15:15 Northampton vs Scarlets
17:30 Glasgow vs Saracens

I think Edinburgh should be great tonight, Toulouse tomorrow, and Glasgow Sunday all my highlights this weekend. Should be fun! Lots to play for with home advantages worth a huge amount in this competition. Seeding the top two could see an extra 3 home matches to add to the coffers!

As always, predictions, reactions, and shit-posts all appreciated

Glasgow vs Saracens is spicy af. And I'm here for it.

I wonder what the biggest loss Saracens have ever suffered?

I missed it, worth avoiding the scoreline and watching on the sly tomorrow during work?

Glorious. Class. I hope our 6N team this year is just Glasgow + Russell + Graham.

Glasgow for the bonus point and top 2 seeding please. Would love to see them make the final after winning the URC last year. And Bayonne to take out Leinster, Sale to push out Toulouse, and Scarlets to put one over Northampton would be jist fabulous. Edinburgh tonight first though, come on Embra!
