YOUR WEEKEND CHAMPIONS CUP GUIDE
MUNSTER v GLASGOW TODAY: Thomond Park, 1pm LIVE Sky Sports 3 from 12.30pm RUGBY will bear little significance as Munster mourn the untimely death of Anthony Foley. The least it can do is provide a distraction for the men in red. Keith Earls comes in for them as Sean Lamont and Alex Dunbar play for Glasgow. PREDICTION: Home win. CASTRES v NORTHAMPTON TODAY: Stade Pierre Antoine, 3.15pm LIVE Sky Sports 3 from 3.10pm DYLAN HARTLEY starts his first match since the opening weekend of the season for Saints, having recovered from a back injury. After a tight win against Montpellier Saints need to kick on in France. PREDICTION: Away win. SARACENS v SCARLETS TODAY: Allianz Park, 5.30pm LIVE Sky Sports 3 from 5.15pm WITH George Kruis out, Scot Jim Hamilton comes in alongside Maro Itoje for Saracens. Scarlets may need to engage damage limitation mode after Saracens’ stunning win at Toulon. The Welsh side are missing Olympian James Davies. PREDICTION: Home win. ULSTER v EXETER TODAY: Kingspan Stadium, 7.45pm LIVE BT Sport 2 from 7.30pm CHARLES PIUTAU returns for Ulster, starting on the left wing for the PRO12 leaders. They have not lost at home since February. Luke Cowan-Dickie is out for the Chiefs with ankle ligament damage. PREDICTION: Home win. MONTPELLIER v LEINSTER TOMORROW: Altrad Stadium, 1pm LIVE Sky Sports 2 from 12.30pm JONNY SEXTON and Sean O’Brien make timely returns for this tough assignment in France. Jake White’s Montpellier brutes have lost once at home since February and have 17st Springbok Frans Steyn at fly-half. PREDICTION: Home win. TOULOUSE v WASPS TOMORROW: Stade Ernest Wallon, 3.15pm LIVE BT Sport 2 from 3pm WHAT a battle this will be. A re-run of the 2004 Heineken Cup final, which Wasps won in the last play, it pits two giants together again. Wasps have Christian Wade back fit and former England man Toby Flood is Toulouse’s fly-half. PREDICTION: Away win. ZEBRE v CONNACHT TOMORROW: Stade Sergio Lanfranchi, 3.15pm LIVE BT Sport EXTRA from 3pm SO unlikely are Zebre to claim their first Champions Cup win that Connacht have rested star centre Bundee Aki. The Irish will expect, and no doubt gain, a try-scoring bonus point in Parma. The Italians are cannon-fodder. PREDICTION: Away win. LEICESTER v RACING 92 TOMORROW Welford Road, 5.30pm LIVE BT Sport 2 from 5.15pm DAN CARTER starts for last year’s finalists. The most first-half points Racing have conceded in pool games in the last two years is six, so Leicester have a tough task. Matt Toomua starts at 12. Another defeat at home could be curtains. PREDICTION: Home win.
