It's the third round of the EPCR Challenge Cup competition, and the team narratives already are spinning. 

Six squads have jumped ahead and lead their respective pools while remaining undefeated, including Montpellier, Ospreys, Benetton, the Newcastle Red Bulls, Stade Francais and the Exeter Chiefs.

Another six squads are hot on their heels, with at least one win under their belts. Only three teams have yet to record a point, including the Toyota Cheetahs, US Montauban and Black Lion. But there's plenty of rugby union left to play.
