Teams

edit

A total of 20 teams qualified for the 2018–19 European Rugby Challenge Cup; 18 qualified from across the Gallagher Premiership, Guinness Pro14 and Top 14, as a direct result of their domestic league performance, with two qualifying through the Continental Shield competition. Subject to the allocation of the 20th place in the 2018–19 Champions Cup as per EPCR rules,[2] the distribution of teams was:

  • England: five teams
  • France: eight teams
    • Any teams finishing between 7th and 12th position in the Top 14
    • The champion from the Pro D2
    • The winner of the promotion-relegation play-off between the team in 13th position in the Top 14 and the runner-up of the Pro D2
  • Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales: five teams
    • Any teams, excluding the South African teams, that did not qualify for the Champions Cup, through the Guinness Pro14
    • No team from Scotland ultimately participated, as Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors qualified for the 2018–19 Champions Cup.
  • Romania: one team
  • Russia: one team
    • One team qualified through the 2017–18 Continental Shield.

The following clubs qualified for the Challenge Cup.

Qualifying competition – European Rugby Continental Shield

edit
Further information: 2017–18 European Rugby Continental Shield

The qualification tournament was reformatted as a competition in its own right, the European Rugby Continental Shield, in 2017. Eight teams were split into two pools of four to compete in the pool stage of the European Rugby Continental Shield. Each team played the four teams in the other pool once. The winner of each pool then played-off against the runner-up of the other pool. The winners of these two qualifying play-offs played each other in a two-legged play-off for a place in the Challenge Cup.

The two Russian teams who had competed in the 2017–18 tournament played each other in a two-legged qualifying play-off for a place in the Challenge Cup. The winners of the two qualifying play-offs, having both qualified for the Challenge Cup, then played each other in the European Rugby Continental Shield final in May 2018.

Ineligible teams

edit

Heidelberger RK were due to become the first German club to take part in either of the two major European rugby union competitions after qualification from the 2017–18 European Rugby Continental Shield. However, they were ruled ineligible by EPC Rugby due to their primary financial backer, Hans-Peter Wild, also being the majority shareholder in Stade Français and therefore being in a position to influence two teams in the competition.[3]

Timișoara Saracens, who had been eliminated by Heidelberger RK at the Continental Shield semi-final stage (effectively the Challenge Cup play-off) were confirmed as their replacement on 11 June 2018.[4]

Seeding

edit

The 20 competing teams were seeded and split into four tiers; seeding was based on performance in their respective domestic leagues. Where promotion and relegation is in effect in a league, the promoted team was seeded last, or (if multiple teams are promoted) by performance in the lower competition.[6] [7]

Rank Top 14 Premiership Pro 14 Continental Shield
1   La Rochelle   Sale Sharks   Benetton   Enisei-STM
2   Pau   Northampton Saints   Ospreys   Timișoara Saracens
3   Clermont   Harlequins   Connacht
4   Bordeaux   Worcester Warriors   Zebre
5   Agen   Bristol Bears   Dragons
6   Stade Français
7   Perpignan
8   Grenoble

Teams are taken from a league in order of rank and put into a tier. A draw is used to allocate two second seeds to Tier 1; the remaining team goes into Tier 2. This allocation indirectly determines which fourth-seeded team entered Tier 2, while the others enter Tier 3.

Given the nature of the Continental Shield — a competition including developing rugby nations and Italian clubs not competing in the Pro14 — the two qualifiers from that competition were automatically included in Tier 4 and are seeded equally, despite officially being ranked 1 and 2 from that competition.

The brackets show each team's seeding and their league (for example, 1 Top 14 indicates the team was seeded 1st from the Top 14).

Tier 1   Sale Sharks (1 Prem)   Benetton (1 Pro14)   La Rochelle (1 Top 14)   Pau (2 Top 14)   Northampton Saints (2 Prem)
Tier 2   Ospreys (2 Pro14)   Harlequins (3 Prem)   Connacht (3 Pro14)   Clermont (3 Top 14)   Zebre (4 Pro14)
Tier 3   Worcester Warriors (4 Prem)   Bordeaux (4 Top 14)   Bristol Bears (5 Prem)   Dragons (5 Pro14)   Agen (5 Top 14)
Tier 4   Stade Français (6 Top 14)   Perpignan (7 Top 14)   Grenoble (8 Top 14)   Enisei-STM (CS 1)   Timișoara Saracens (CS 2)

The draw took place on 20 June 2018 in the Olympic Museum, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Teams in the same pool play each other twice, both at home and away in the group stage started in October 2018, and continues through to January 2019. The pool winners and three best runners-up progressed to the quarter-finals.

Teams are awarded competition points, based on match result. Teams receive four points for a win, two points for a draw, one attacking bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match and one defensive bonus point for losing a match by seven points or fewer.[8]

In the event of a tie between two or more teams, the following tie-breakers will be used, as directed by EPCR:

  1. Where teams have played each other
    1. The club with the greater number of competition points from only matches involving tied teams.
    2. If equal, the club with the best aggregate points difference from those matches.
    3. If equal, the club that scored the most tries in those matches.
  2. Where teams remain tied and/or have not played each other in the competition (i.e. are from different pools)
    1. The club with the best aggregate points difference from the pool stage.
    2. If equal, the club that scored the most tries in the pool stage.
    3. If equal, the club with the fewest players suspended in the pool stage.
    4. If equal, the drawing of lots will determine a club's ranking.
Key to colours
     Winner of each pool, advance to quarter-finals.
     Three highest-scoring second-place teams advance to quarter-finals.

Knock-out stage

edit

Format

edit

The eight qualifiers are ranked according to their performance in the pool stage and compete in the quarter-finals which will be held on the weekend of 28–31 March 2019. The four top teams will host the quarter-finals against the four lower teams in a 1v8, 2v7, 3v6 and 4v5 format.

The semi-finals will be played on the weekend of 19–21 April 2019. As in recent seasons, a fixed semi-final bracket is set in advance. However, beginning this season the higher-seeded team will host each semi-final regardless of whether they won their quarter-final at home or on the road.[9]

The winners of the semi-finals will contest the final, at St James' Park, on 10 May 2019.

Notes

edit
  1. ^ The English league was sponsored by Aviva during the 2017–18 season.
  2. ^ Ospreys lost the 7th-place play-off to Ulster, missing out on qualification for the European Rugby Champions Cup.
  3. ^ Timișoara Saracens qualified for the European Challenge Cup after runners-up Heidelberger RK were disqualified due to owner Hans-Peter Wild also being a primary shareholder at Stade Français, leading to a potential conflict of interest if these teams were to meet in this season's competition.[4]
  4. ^ Timișoara Saracens only played 2 home games as their home game against Northampton Saints on 15 December 2018 was cancelled due to poor weather.[17]
