The most prestigious club trophy in rugby union, the
much anticipated Heineken Cup
kicks-off come October the 11th. Playing host to Europe’s elite rugby
teams, the tournament will span to the final on May 24th, where
Wales’ Millennium Stadium will
provide an electric reception for players and fans alike.
Indeed, with rugby powerhouses going head to head on
a weekly basis, the Heineken Cup truly offers a sporting spectacle like no
other. Toulon - the reigning champions - will begin their title defence at home
to Scotland’s very own Glasgow Warriors
in a clash that will certainly not be for the faint hearted. Elsewhere, the competition
gets underway with Connacht welcoming Saracens whilst Ulster entertain Leicester
Tigers.
Round two oversees Harlequins travel to France and
the intimidating Stade Marcel Michelin to take on fierce opponents Clermont in
what’s bound to be a tough encounter. Perhaps the most eagerly awaited game of
the pool stages however features in round four, where Leinster will do battle
with Northampton in a repeat of 2011’s mouth-watering final. The match,
scheduled for Saturday the 14th of December, has been moved by
Leinster to the awe-inspiring Aviva Stadium where crowds packed to the rafters will guarantee a fantastic
atmosphere.
