Bordeaux are the new pretenders to the crown, and \u2013 having beaten Northampton Saints in last year\u2019s final \u2013 will be hungry to lift that trophy again.<\/p>\n They have a back line that could strike fear into any side on the planet, featuring Yoram Moefana, Damian Penaud (who\u2019ll still be smarting after missing out on France\u2019s triumphant Six Nations squad), and French rugby\u2019s current golden boy, try machine Louis Bielle-Biarrey.
