Wasps v Clermont
</div>
Clermont have not made the sweeping changes they did in the wake of their win over Llanelli, of the four changes 2 are injury enforced with James and Floch missing out while the other changes see Samson and Jaquet partnering each other in the second row and world cup winning captain John Smit replaces Mario Ledesma, which given his form for Clermont will be welcome news to Wasps fans.
As for the defending champions they welcome back Josh Lewsey who makes his first appearance since the world cup final, taking the place of Mark Van Gisbergen. Elsewhere Tom Rees returns to the back row in place of John Hart. With Phil Vickery cited and subsequently cleared Wasps have opted not to play him, instead going with Nick Adams.
So will Clermont prove themselves as serious challengers or will the champions see off their challenge???
