The European Challenge Cup, currently known as the Amlin Challenge Cup, is one of two annual rugby union competitions organised by European Rugby Cup. It is the second tier European rugby union competition behind the Heineken Cup. Visit the World Rugby Shop for the best official rugby gear from around the world.
One of the biggest weekends in the European club rugby calendar will kick-off with the first Amlin Challenge Cup quarterfinal contest, between last season's finalists, Stade Francais and the Exeter Chiefs.
Stade Francais finished top of Pool One and eased into the Amlin Challenge Cup quarterfinals courtesy of a 33-10 victory over Worcester Warriors in Paris on Saturday evening.
Glasgow Warriors will be looking to extend their European campaign and will be chasing all five points to ensure they qualify for the last eight of the Amlin Challenge Cup.
Leicester Tigers will be looking to restore some pride after their one-sided defeat to Ulster and one eye on hopes of a place in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarterfinals.
The Scarlets may be out of the Heineken Cup but a victory in France against Castres Olympique could put them in the hunt for the Amlin Challenge Cup quarterfinals.
Tommy Bowe is predicting another points fest when the Ospreys head to the south of France to battle with Biarritz as both clubs strive to stay in European competition.
