Here comes the sides as they make their way out onto the field.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of this pool 3 game with Newcastle travelling to the Stade Jean-Bouin to take on Stade Francais. Newcastle will look to all but seal their place in the quarter-finals with a win against Stade Francais tonight. The Falcons will be looking for their 4th win in the competition after defeating Stade Francais 30-23 last Friday with Noah Cato getting the all important 4th try. The French side now face an almost impossible task of making it through to the knockout stages. They will most likely need to pick up maximum points from their remaining three games to have any chance, starting with the Falcons tonight. Kick is 15 minutes away so stay with us for updates and analysis.

Stade Français are enduring their worst run of form in the Challenge Cup as they have lost three of the last four. Newcastle won just 17 and lost just one of their lineouts last weekend.
