The West's Gallagher Premiership Rugby teams are back in European action this coming weekend with the penultimate round of Heineken Champions Cup group-stage action covered on BT Sport and Channel 4.
It kicks off tonight at the Recreation Ground where Bath Rugby will be aiming for their first European win of the season against domestic rivals Harlequins in front of the BT Sport 2 cameras. Kick off 1945.
Quins, third with five points, have little hope of reaching the quarter-finals but Paul Gustard will be hoping his side can put in a performance and claim Gallagher Premiership Rugby bragging rights in the process.
Also on Friday, Sale Sharks will be in action in France, hoping a win over La Rochelle could allow them to leapfrog Glasgow Warriors in second in Pool 2 – live on BT Sport 3.
Tomorrow match action starts in Wales as Saracens travel to take on Ospreys in Pool 4, live on BT Sport 3 and Channel 4 with an early 1245 kick off.
At 1515 BT Sport attention switches to Scotland, where Exeter Chiefs will try and maintain their lead at the top of Pool 2 with victory against chasing Glasgow Warriors.
Finally tomorrow all eyes will turn to Kingsholm as Gloucester Rugby take on Montpellier in Pool 5, aiming to get closer to securing qualification for the quarter-finals. Kick-off is at 1715 and the match will be screened live on BT Sport 2.
The Cherry and Whites are sure to be on a high after last weekend’s 29-15 Westcountry derby victory over Bath and will be confident of sending the home fans into raptures once again with a win over their struggling French opponents.
