An interesting clash awaits, both teams with a lot to prove. Stay tuned for updates

This will be only the second season Oyonnax have appeared in the Challenge Cup, following promotion to the French Top 14 in 2013 and proved more than capable of competing at this level. They beat previous winners Sale Sharks as well as former finalists Stade Francias and held Worcester Warriors to a draw. This competition could also prove a welcome distraction from the Top 14 where they have struggled to climb the table, despite proving a real handful for the likes of Toulon, Montpellier and Clermont-Auvergne in recent weeks.

Following two fruitless seasons in the Champions Cup, Zebre make their first appearances in the Challenge Cup looking to break their duck.
