Pat Lam’s exciting side face a tricky evening at the home of the Top 14 champions.
Watch Toulouse v Bristol Bears as two of the most exciting teams in Europe face off for a place in the European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-finals.
The Top 14 champions may be the seeded team this evening, but that doesn’t tell the whole story of this clash. Bristol actually won more games in the pool stages than Toulouse, who – by some weird quirk of the Champions Cup fixture list – are yet to beat a team that doesn’t have “Sharks” in its name.
Matches involving Pat Lam’s Bears tend to feature plenty of tries (at both ends), and with the hosts able to call on the exciting talents of Antoine Dupont, Blair Kinghorn and Thomas Ramos, this could be a cracker – though the hosts are undeniably the favourites.
