Stade Francais and Cardiff complete the pool, making it a true warzone. Meanwhile, Bristol clashes with Gloucester, Munster, and defending champs Bordeaux-Begles in Pool Three. The format? Four pool games against foreign foes, top three advance, and top two get home knockout slots. The Challenge Cup is equally fierce — Harlequins, Toulon, Edinburgh, and Ospreys collide. First pool games hit October 16-18, finals roar in Lyon next May. Full fixtures drop soon — get ready for chaos.
