With the Heineken Champions Cup fixtures now out, we look ahead to four huge clashes that you cannot afford to miss in Round 3! Pool 3: Bath Rugby v ASM Clermont Auvergne Round 3 begins with an exciting encounter between 1998 European Cup winners Bath and Clermont, last season’s Challenge Cup victors, at the Recreation Ground. Bath were involved in several dramatic pool matches in the 2018/19 campaign, including a 22-20 defeat to eventual semi-finalists Toulouse and a thrilling 35-35 draw against Wasps at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Meanwhile, Clermont enjoyed a stellar Challenge Cup season, winning all nine of their matches as they claimed a third European crown, defeating La Rochelle 36-16 in the final at St. James’ Park in Newcastle. Bath and Clermont also met in the 2007 Challenge Cup final, with the French side winning 22-16 at Twickenham Stoop. You can watch this match on Friday December 6 via live coverage from BT Sport and beIN SPORTS from 19:45 GMT. Pool 1: Northampton Saints v Leinster Rugby If we get a match as dramatic as the 2011 European Cup final between these two sides, it will be a classic. Leinster staged a dramatic fightback from 22-6 down in Cardiff to win 33-22, clinching a second European Cup in three years in the process. Last season Leinster again reached the final but were beaten 20-10 by Saracens in Newcastle. In contrast, Northampton were in the Challenge Cup and made the last eight before being beaten 61-38 by eventual winners ASM Clermont Auvergne. To watch this Pool 1 match, tune in to Channel 4, Virgin Media, BT Sport or beIN SPORTS on Saturday December 7 from 13:00 GMT. [jwplayer dYzs8hgG] Pool 4: Munster Rugby v Saracens In a repeat of the 2018/19 Heineken Champions Cup semi-final, Munster and Saracens do battle at Thomond Park in what could be the clash of the pool stage. The two European heavyweights have met many times in recent years, with the English side coming out on top last season in a commanding 32-16 success in Coventry. That set Saracens on the way to a third Champions Cup and left Munster still chasing a third European crown. You can watch this match from Limerick live on BT Sport and beIN SPORTS, with coverage getting under way at 17:30 GMT on Saturday December 7. Pool 5: Toulouse v Montpellier This all-French tie rounds off the first half of the pool stage matches in the Heineken Champions Cup, with several international stars expected to feature. Toulouse – who reached the semi-finals last season – can boast talent such as full-back Thomas Ramos, wing Cheslin Kolbe and hooker Julien Marchand, while Montpellier can count upon the likes of No.8 Louis Picamoles, hooker Guilhem Guirado and fly-half Handre Pollard. The match will be held at Stade Ernest-Wallon on Sunday December 8 and receives live television coverage from 15:15 GMT on BT Sport, FR2 and beIN SPORTS.
