Saracens return to the top flight of European competition for the first time since the 200/01 season and find themselves back with some familiar faces in Ulster.
They managed two victories over the Irish side in that season and will be hoping for a similar return when the two teams go head-to-head once again in December. French champions Biarritz kick-off at Vicarage Road against the English club and will be wary of the Ulster challenge having met them in 2002/03, when they were beaten at Ravenhill and ran out 25-20 winners at home. Benetton Treviso were in the same Pool at Ulster in 2001/02 and will be hoping for a better start in Belfast than their 59-3 defeat there on their last visit.
