Saturday evenings clash is a stand out fixture amongst many blue chip encounters featuring the best teams from the United Rugby Championship, England and France.

Also in action in round one will be the Stormers versus Toulon and the Sharks against the Exeter Chiefs. Saracens are three-time winners of the Champion Cup, and after last season's meeting against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld, the two powerhouse clubs are hardly strangers.

On that occasion, the Bulls won at home 27-16, and centre David Kriel relishes testing himself against the best in England, “ JA Saracens their name stands for itself they have got a rich history and have shown in the last couple of years why they are where they are one of the best teams in England we are expecting a very tough battle but one that the whole squad is excited about and it is one of those games you want to be a part of to see where you are as a group and as an individual player.”
