Welcome to Ultimate Rugbys coverage of todays Amlin Challenge Cup clash between Oyonnax and Worcester at the Stade Charles-Mathon. Oyonnax are coming into this game off the back of a loss to Montpellier in last weekends Top 14 fixture but they have been very impressive at home so far this season were they have already beaten Castres and Toulon. Worcester are yet to win a game this season after 5 straight losses in the Aviva Premiership, which means they are now on a ten game losing streak. Both teams will be looking to start their campaign with a victory so this should prove to be a fiery clash.
