Goosen kicks off to get us underway!

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby’s coverage of this afternoons European Champions Cup action as Racing Metro travel to the Liberty Stadium to take on the Ospreys in the competition’s third round. It’s the first leg of this back-to-back fixture as Racing have recorded two wins from two while the Osprey have a win and a loss under their belt in this tight pool. Ospreys welcome back their Welsh international contingent after last weeks impressive victory over South Africa as Alun Wyn Jones captains the side while the current Wales half-back pairing of Webb and Biggar link up once more. Racing Metro also boast an impressive lineup although they are missing star playmaker Jonathan Sexton today so Johan Goosen will pull the strings at 10, also the hugely talented youngster Teddy Thomas not int the match day squad but plenty of quality in the pack as captain Dimitri Szarzewski and Bernard Le Roux tog out. Stay with us for live updates and match analysis.

This is the first time the clubs will meet in Europe. Ospreys' Dan Evans has made the 4th most carries in the tournament so far (30).
