The truncated format of the European Rugby Champions Cup is throwing up crackerjack matches every week, with the second round promising fireworks from the first whistle.

We kick off with Saracens’ visit to Munster to see who will blink first in the tournament’s pool of death.

These two and Clermont Auvergne provided three of last season’s four semi-finalists, so every inch will be scrapped over tooth and nail.

Bath host Toulouse, desperate to erase the memory of a painful defeat in Glasgow, but they face a resurgent French side who got both their power up front and silky offloading game firing on all cylinders last week against Montpellier.

Toulon have to prove their credentials for a third straight crown with a tricky trip to Ulster, Wasps and Harlequins go at it in an all-English scrap and a collision between the Scarlets and Leicester revives memories of that titanic semi-final at the City Ground in 2002, per the Guardian.

Kick the family out of the living room, silence the dog with a juicy bone, unplug the phone and stock the fridge, it will be an epic weekend.

Let’s have a look at five absorbing head-to-heads.
