The pool stages will run from 13th October to 20th January, with the campaign getting underway on Saturday 14th when the Scots host the Dragons at the Athletic Ground.

Dave Morris’ side then travel to Yorkshire Carnegie the following weekend, before the middle round of fixtures sees the Scots go back-to-back with Jersey Reds in the lead up to Christmas.

The pool stages conclude in January with a home match against Carnegie on Saturday 13th before ending in Wales against the Dragons on 19/20/21.

Exact kick off times and venues of the away matches will be announced in due course.
