Rugby Round-Up: Champions Cup Preview

Saracens opens its Investec Champions Cup campaign at StoneX Stadium against Top 14 opponent Clermont, renewing a matchup that last appeared in European competition seven years ago. 

The clubs have evolved significantly since their 2017 Champions Cup pool-stage meeting—won 24-21 by Clermont—but the competitive tension remains intact. Clermont enters with a slight recent edge, having won the last two matches between the sides.

Both teams arrive with mixed domestic form. 

Clermont has won three of its last five matches in the Top 14, stabilizing after a slow start and leaning into a balanced forward pack. 

Saracens, meanwhile, is 2-3 in its last five Gallagher PREM fixtures and continues to integrate new combinations, while pushing for greater consistency. Still, a home European opener at StoneX typically brings out Saracens’ most composed rugby, especially with a veteran core returning for continental duty.
