The first of four cracking ties this weekend takes us to Dublin and the Aviva Stadium, where three-time Heineken Cup winners Leinster host Bath (15:15 BST).
Once that tie is over we're off to France where Northampton Saints will be looking to overcome Clermont Auvergne (17:45 BST) without George North.
Sunday's two games are equally as attractive - Racing Metro against Saracens in the suburbs of Paris (12:45 BST) followed by Wasps at Toulon (15:15 BST) by the Mediterranean.
