EPCR listed the Challenge Cup Teams today, less the two invited
teams who will be named just before the group draw on 1st July.
The teams are:
TOP 14: RC Toulon, Castres Olympique, Lyon Olympique
Universitaire, Aviron Bayonnais, USAP, RC Vannes
United Rugby Championship: Ulster Rugby, Hollywoodbets Sharks,
Ospreys, Edinburgh Rugby, Benetton Rugby, Scarlets, Dragons RFC,
Zebre Parma
Gallagher PREM: Harlequins, Newcastle Red Bulls
Invited: To be announced before the Pool Draw
It will be nice to play a team other than Leinster.

Feels like the first time in a while we won't face the Stormers,
either

I'm hoping for an away trip to Lyon - would love to go back to
Brasserie George again.
Just as long as we don't get Ulster away again

I’m hoping to travel to an away game this season but just to
confirm we won’t know the fixture date on 1st July just the team
and weekend?

It is absurd that there are only 2 Prem teams when the Top14
contributes 6 and URC contributes 8. I think there are multiple
teams in those other leagues better than, say, Sale or
Gloucester, at least.

The outline dates for the weekends of the games have been given
but the details will not be released until after the 1st July.
