L’European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) a annoncé vendredi le calendrier des coupes d’Europe pour la saison 2025-2026.

Il reprend les grandes lignes du calendrier de la saison en cours, avec un lancement des compétitions le premier week-end de décembre.

Les deux premières journées de la phase de poule se dérouleront consécutivement. Les deux autres auront lieu sur les deux week-ends de la mi-janvier.

Les huitièmes et les quarts de finale auront lieu début avril, à une semaine d’intervalle. Le premier week-end de mai sera consacré aux demi-finales.

Pour les finales, l’instance dirigeante a souhaité renouveler l’expérience de 2018 et revenir à Bilbao le premier week-end du mois de mai.

La ville espagnole et son stade de San Mamés, l’antre du club de football Athletic Bilbao doté de 53 000 places, avait vu le sacre du Leinster sur le Racing 92 (15-12) en Champions Cup, et le succès des Cardiff Blues sur Gloucester (31-30) en Challenge.

Yep, they are stacked.

Excellent age profile for their national squad too.

Could be I guess, apart from the fact the ‘underachiever’ is litotic description of Ulster for quite a few years now!

Mallia, Chocobares, Carreras and Bruni were playing at the same time in Lyon. Petty will play tommorow in Lyon too…

Maybe you’re just too used to celebrating teams that turn up, defend for 37 phases at the death then forget they ain’t collecting any medals and almost miss their flight home…

It's always out of nothing too.

Utterly lethal.

Very true chief, it's developing into a 9/10 partnership.

His play should be a little restricted because he's left footed but it's not a problem for him. Always smiling too.

Class, class player.

Anything is possible I guess but it will be interesting to see how that comment ages…

Lions fail to click in first ever defeat to Argentina

The headline is surely that Argentina won, for the first time in Dublin.

Not that the lions lost?

Only the yellow card and it's 14 PTS yield kept the lions in it.

Well beaten I thought.

Absolutely. Looked more at the races than Mitchell, played with a real sense of urgency (even if that does tend to be a luxury enjoyed by the subs rather than the starters)

All are underachievers?

Is that the link?

I thought Tomos was better than a 6. Really sped up the attack.

It was 10 PTS between 14th and 15th.

You always take the long route to ask the obvious.

It's adorable!

Put like that, it's clear that the coaching tickets across the four provinces are looking good.

Seemingly it was enough to sway Ulster…

Did you get passed over for the job, Ed? You sound salty.

9 was good too.

England will have to be careful with the loose balls and wide breakdowns. Their counter attack is deadly.

Definitely can't blame them for the last couple of years… but rugby's a team sport and you can only give people so many chances.

Looking forward to the Argentina player ratings.

Has to be a full 10 for Albornoz.

The best test #10 currently in the game. Superstar.
