We've taken a look at the best of Saturday's domestic action involving EPCR Challenge Cup clubs, with Cardiff Rugby's home win the highlight. Cardiff end.

The 2008 EPCR Challenge Cup Champions scored three tries, with Miles Reid, Tom Dunn and Cameron Redpath all crossing. Stade Francais, who were drawn to face Benetton Rugby and the Emirates Lions in Pool B of the EPCR Challenge Cup, ran out comfortable winners against Pool A Brive at the Stade Jean Bouin, moving them move to second in the table. Connacht, who will be playing in Pool A of the 2022-23 EPCR Challenge Cup, eased to a 36-14 victory and claimed a bonus point in the process.

Dobson satisfied with Stormers tour despite Cardiff loss (Citizen)

Stormers coach John Dobson is satisfied with their three match European tour in the URC, despite ending with a 30-24 loss against Cardiff.

“Obviously the conditions are something we have to get better at, especially on a 4G (pitch). “Cardiff in these conditions on this field was always going to be a tough game. “Technically we worked a lot on our maul and to see how that went today was really good. Also, in a kind of positive way, not having people talk about a record all the time is quite nice, to get that off our back, not that we wanted to do that. “So to get that many points from three games having not played particularly well is a positive. So I can’t fault our effort.
