The semi-finals of the 2026 Investec Champions Cup take place this weekend as Leinster host Toulon and Bath travel to Bordeaux.
Scotland scrum half Ben White, who helped his side beat Glasgow Warriors in the last round, will be hoping to upset the odds in Dublin with Toulon while Finn Russell is tasked with inspiring the last remaining English team to victory over the tournament favourites. Bath teammates and fellow Scotland internationals Josh Bayliss, Cam Redpath and Chris Harris may also have a say.
If any of those players can be involved in this year’s final they will have the chance to join an illustrious list of Scottish stars to have lifted the trophy dating back to 1998. Here is every Scot who has won European club rugby’s biggest prize:
