Matthieu Jalibert and his partners launch their European campaign this Sunday against the Tigers from the north of England.
Union Bordeaux-Bègles, whose best result in the Champions Cup is a semi-final in 2021, begins its European season with the reception of the Leicester Tigers, current 3e Premiership. Faced with the eternal Dan Cole, Ben Youngs and Mike Brown, as well as the South African double world champion fly-half Handre Pollard, the Girondins already have no room for error.
In a tough Pool 1, the finalist of the last Top 14 will also face the Exeter Chiefs, the Irish province of Ulster and the South African franchise from Durban, the Sharks.
