The weekend of intense box office club rugby kicks off on Friday night in the Investec Champions Cup with Bath’s big away trip to Castres and Edinburgh’s pressure-laden home tie to Gloucester at Hive Stadium. Join in live coverage of both from 7pm on Premier Sports 1 and 2 with John Barclay, Chris Paterson, Matt Banahan, Anthony Watson, Andy Goode and Stephen Ferris. Watch live on Premier Sports 1 on Saturday from 5.15pm with Rob Kearney, Ian Madigan, Ryle Nugent and Graham Little. With 50+ European Rugby appearances, and as a two-time Champions Cup winner, Lawrence Dallaglio set the scene for this weekend. Look no further than Bordeaux against Saints and all the rhetoric around that, the chance of revenge for a start.
