Rugby Round-Up: Champions Cup Preview

The Scarlets begin their Investec Champions Cup campaign at Parc y Scarlets with a Round 1 clash against Bristol Bears, marking the first meeting between the teams in Europe since January 2022. 

That match, played in Round 4 of the Champions Cup, went the way of Bristol, who also enter this season’s opening weekend having won the most recent contest between the sides. With both clubs navigating contrasting domestic runs, the matchup holds early significance in setting the tone for pool play.

Scarlets arrive in need of a reset after going 1–4 in their last five URC matches. Their squad blends experience with emerging talent, but consistency has been elusive through the early stretch of the season. 

Bristol, meanwhile, has pieced together a strong foundation in the Gallagher Premiership, winning three of its past five games. Their forward platform and improved continuity in attack have given them momentum entering European competition.
