Champions Cup recap: Relive wins for Northampton, Toulouse and Pau

You have to wait until 11-13 December for the second round of pool fixtures in the Champions Cup.

Northampton are away at Stade Francais on Friday, 11 December, while Cardiff host Bath the following day.

The pool phase concludes with two rounds of games in January.

Until next time!

Archie McParland and Fraser Dingwall come on for Northampton. Alex Mitchell and Toby Thame depart.

The rise of James Pater continues as the 19-year-old is given his first Champions Cup start at full-back for Northampton Saints.

England fly-half Fin Smith is in on the bench as Anthony Belleau is given the nod.

Exeter win a penalty from the scrum.

Sam Harris finds a good touch. Toulouse have a minute to wait before Teddy Thomas returns.

You know you are good when Italy star Tommaso Menoncello is on your bench.

Exeter Chiefs will need an epic performance in Toulouse.
