Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Amlin Challenge Cup with Grenoble hosting Viadana at Stade Lesdiguieres in the second round of group games. Grenoble have made six changes to their starting XV for the clash. Amongst the changes, there are two in the backs with full-back Fabien Gengenbacher, who captained the team during last weekend's away loss to Bayonne, being replaced by Jordan Michallet while Olly Barkley takes over from Michallet at fly-half. Viadana have rung the changes after last weekend's humiliating 90-17 defeat to Wasps. There are 11 new faces in this week's run in total. At full-back, Marco Antonio Gennari starts in place of Kaine Robertson while Daniel Rudolf Yakopo switches from left to right wing. Gilberto Pavan and Juan Pablo Sanchez form a new midfield combination and Keanu John Apperley-Iti retains his position at fly-half. In the forwards, there's a new back row with Christoffell Johanne Du Plessis, Andrea Denti, Pietro Moreschi replacing Gonzalo Padro, Andrea Barbieri and Liviu Pascu respectively while Matteo Minari comes in at Joubert Prinsloo Horn's expense. Minari also replaces Apperley-Iti as the side's captain. These two teams have never met in European before but Grenoble are yet to lose to Italian opposition, with four victories from four in their previous matches. Things are not looking too positive for Viadana in this clash having not won in Europe since defeating Mont de Marsan in 2008. Fingers crossed from a neutral perspective that they can rise to the occasion here this evening and offer their counter parts some opposition! Kick off not too far away now, I hope you enjoy this evening's coverage!
