THE Investec Champions Cup The campaign continues with the second of two consecutive rounds of the prestigious rugby club competition.
The tournament started in style with an action-packed opening weekend, with defending champions Bordeaux Begles up and running with an impressive, if slightly chaotic, victory over the Bulls in Pretoria. There were also fine wins for Northampton at Pau and Bath against Munster, the Prem champions underlining their status as possible contenders on a rainy night at The Rec.
