Clermont Vs. Bristol Bears Lineups, Kickoff Time
Champions Cup Pool 2 is the most competitive of any pool thus far. This weekend could further disrupt the table, when Clermont takes on Bristol on Jan. 18.
Champions Cup 2025 has been incredibly competitive, but at the center of the rat race sits Pool 2, the only pool where each team has at least five points and at least one win.

In particular, Bristol vs. Clermont could throw the pool into further disarray as the Bears visit the French side in Round 4.
Both teams are tied with one win and five points at the bottom of the table. Meaning, the winner, depending on how other games go, could at the very least end up in the Challenge Cup, if not the Round of 16. The loser, well, goes home with nothing.
Here's everything to know as Bristol Bears and ASM Clermont clash on Jan. 18.
