Good evening everyone and welcome the final game we have in todays coverage here on Ultimate Rugby. With our match fact we see how dominant Stade have been in recent years and Dragons also a competing force in this years competition. Both sided fielding some very strong individuals and national team players to try and get this Challenge Cup off to a flying start in what will be a tight enough pool when it comes down to it. However Stade seem to be taking a slight lacklustre approach by resting the likes of Pascal Pape and Sergio Parisse. Stay with us here at UR as we bring you live coverage throughout.

Stade Français have made it past the pool stage on all six occasions they have features in this tournament. Newport Gwent Dragons conceded the second most penalties per game in last years competition (14.5 on average).
