Brive are the final team to feature in our Challenge Cup Spotlight series, having been promoted from Pro D2 last season. They will play in Pool 4 alongside Bristol Bears, Zebre Rugby Club and 2017 winners Stade Français Paris. What is their European record like? Brive have been prolific in reaching the latter stages of the Challenge Cup, qualifying for the last eight on 12 occasions. Despite that, they have only made the semi-finals on three occasions, with the last coming in 2011/12. The French side were not involved in European competition in 2018/19, as they were fighting for promotion from Pro D2, which they duly achieved. Who is on the coaching staff? Former Ireland lock Jeremy Davidson is the current director of rugby at the French club, having guided Brive to promotion last season. The 45-year-old has previously coached at Castres Olympique, Ulster Rugby, Aurillac and Bordeaux-Bègles. https://twitter.com/ERChallengeCup/status/1169950884916289538?s=20 Who are their top players? Prop Hayden Thompson-Stringer is a notable addition from Heineken Champions Cup winners Saracens, while Scotland centre Alex Dunbar moved from Glasgow Warriors, having spent time on loan at Newcastle Falcons last season. How have they started the season? The French side got off the mark in the TOP 14 last weekend, as they defeated 2019 Challenge Cup winners ASM Clermont Auvergne 28-21 at Stade Amédée-Domenech. They had previously been beaten at Pau and Agen in their first two domestic fixtures. Click HERE for the 2019/20 Challenge Cup fixtures.
