A big weekend of knockout European rugby awaits three South African (SA) franchises.
On Saturday, the Stormers face Toulon at the Stade Felix Mayol in the round of 16 of the European Champions cup.

That clash for the ages will be followed up by another potential classic when the Bulls go up against the Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun Stadium, also in the Champions Cup.
The action kicks off late on Friday night, when the Sharks face Connacht in the round of 16 of the Challenge Cup in Galway.

No matter the competition, when the Bulls see that they are up against the Glasgow Warriors, the sense of dread is palpable.

The Warriors beat the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld in the final of the United Rugby Championship two seasons ago.

However, the Bulls also continue to demonstrate that, no matter the competition, on the road they get results we they need them most.

They beat Pau in Southwestern France to move on to the round of 16 in the Champions Cup, and now coach Johann Ackermann has chosen a formidable Bulls team for their trip to Glasgow.
