| Brive currently top the Pool C standings after four wins from four in the competition so far, but with the Falcons chasing hard for quarter-final qualification it is very much all to play for.
Last weekend’s round of matches in the French Championship saw Brive fall at home to Montauban – the side Newcastle beat 35-0 in their last European encounter – and the hosts will be aiming to extend their run of home form on the back of Sunday’s victory over Leicester Tigers.
Les Brivistes come in to the game with a different coach at the helm from when the two sides met in France earlier this season.
Michael Peuchlestrade takes over from Australian Tim Lane, but finds himself in charge of a Brive side lying fourth bottom in the Top 14, just one place above the relegation zone.
Nonetheless he has a talented squad at his disposal, including France Under-21 World Cup winning No.8 Damien Chouly, Samoan centre Terry Fanolua and Fiji fullback Norm Ligairi.
