Northampton Saints will face Castres Olympique in the Investec Champions Cup Round-of-16, with EPCR today confirming the fixture will take place on Friday 3 April (kick-off: 8pm).
Saints reached the knockout stage of the competition for the third straight season thanks to a 43-28 win over Scarlets in the final Pool round – with results elsewhere confirming that Castres will make their third trip to Northampton in 18 months in the Round-of-16.
The men in Black, Green and Gold defeated Castres twice on home soil last term on their way to the Investec Champions Cup final, with the sides’ pool stage clash ending 38-8 in Northampton’s favour before Saints produced a stunning performance to triumph 51-16 in the quarter-final.
