Champions Cup fixtures announced

Harlequins will kick-off the inaugural Champions Cup at The Stoop with the reception of Castres on October 17.
With the fixtures announced for the opening two rounds of the new-look European competition, Premiership champions will travel to Racing Metro the following day while Toulon will start their quest but an historic hat-trick at home against the Scarlets.
But the clash of the round will be a remake of last year’s semi-final between Saracens and Clermont with the English side hosting the French giants at Allianz Park.
