22 Jan 2024

Edinburgh Rugby will host French Top 14 side Bayonne at Hive Stadium in the EPCR Challenge Cup Round of 16 on the weekend of 5/6/7 April.

Sean Everitt’s side secured safe passage to the knockout stages of Europe with a bonus-point win against Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets on Friday night.

Edinburgh enter the knockout stages as 8th seed and will either host Zebre Parma or travel to face Hollywoodbets Sharks in the Quarter-Finals (weekend of 12/13/14 April) if they are to come out on top against Bayonne.

Exact fixture, broadcast and ticketing details for the Round of 16 match-up with Bayonne will be shared at a later date.
