Castres v Treviso - Pool 1

[An Tarbh]

Castres were more than a handful for Wasps and could have possibly even came away with more than a losing bp but they need to back that up here against the strongest Italian side in the competition who are more than capable of pulling off a shock at the Pierre Antoine, unlikely but capable nonetheless.
