The Newport Gwent Dragons host Castres in round 5 of the European Rugby Challenge Cup.
Newport sits atop pool 2 with three wins and just a single defeat from their four matches. Newport are coming off a 34-17 win over Pau and will be looking to further establish themselves as pool leaders with a victory over the side that handed them their only defeat in the competition so far.
Castres have won two and lost two of their four Challenge Cup matches to lie third in pool 2. They were beaten comfortably 31-10 by Sale in round 4 and will be desperate to do the double over the Dragons if they are to have any hope of progressing from the pool.
When these sides met in round 2 in France, Castres won narrowly 32-29.
