Racing 92 vs. Montpellier - Saturday, Oct. 11, 10:35 a.m. ET
Racing 92 brings the Paris La Défense Arena spectacle and a squad built to control territory and tempo. Montpellier counters with an attack that has shown bite in the early rounds.
Both teams arrived to this round with recent mixed results, so this is an early litmus test for consistency.
Montpellier and Racing 92 are neighbors in the middle of the Top 14 pack, No. 8 and No. 9 respectively.
The fixture is notable for pitting Racing’s powerful set pieces and crowd-driven momentum against Montpellier’s wide runners and game-management.
Stade Français vs. Stade Rochelais - Saturday, Oct. 11, 10:35 a.m. ET
Stade Jean Bouin hosts a fascinating contrast: Stade Français’ flair and home-city atmosphere versus La Rochelle’s recent pedigree on the continental stage.
La Rochelle has won successive Champions Cup finals in recent years (2022, 2023) and remains a major force in Europe.
Stade Français will aim to use its pace and skill out wide to unsettle the visitors, while La Rochelle relies on structured pressure and an ability to score from turnovers.
Stade Toulousain vs. Union Bordeaux-Bègles - Sunday, Oct. 12, 3:05 p.m. ET
Toulouse and UBB have been France’s most compelling rivalry of recent seasons: Toulouse the established champion, UBB the upstart with a starry back line.
Toulouse claimed another Top 14 crown in 2025 and remains the team to beat; Bordeaux-Bègles pushed Toulouse to the limit last season in both domestic and European play.
They also sit next to each other on the Top 14 chart, with UBB fourth and Toulouse fifth.
Expect an intense collision: Toulouse’s structured, high-tempo system against UBB’s ball-carrying flair.
