Gloucester Rugby hosts Castres at 10:15 a.m. ET at Kingsholm on Dec. 7 in a match that could have massive implications for where these two clubs will be in April.

The Investec Champions Cup Pool 2 features Bath Rugby, Toulon, Edinburgh and Munster, meaning every club in the pool is looking at its schedule and wondering how it wouldn’t be able to make the knockout stage.

Losing this match could answer that question.

Gloucester, ninth on the Gallagher PREM Rugby table with a 1-0-5 record, enters the competition after a 26-15 win at home against Harlequins in Round 6. Meanwhile, Castres — eighth on the Top 14 table with a 6-0-5 record — stunned La Rochelle on Nov. 22 on the road, 19-17, and beat Perpignan 23-7 on Nov. 29.

Unlike Gloucester, Castres doesn’t avoid the two best clubs in the pool, Bath and Munster, but does get to travel to Gloucester and won’t play another road match until Round 4 — by which time, Munster may already have secured enough points to comfortably be in the knockout stage. Bath and Edinburgh have to come to France.

For Gloucester, the silver lining for what looks like a tough Champions Cup slate is getting Toulon — the third-place team in the Top 14 — at home in Round 4.

This match could feature more FloRugby Top 100 players than any other match in the entire tournament, including two players ranked in the top 10.

This match is streaming live on FloRugby and the FloSports app. The match also will stream for free on the FloRugby YouTube page as part of the 12 Days of Christmas presented by World Rugby Shop.
