2005–06 Powergen Cup
The 2005–06 Powergen Cup was the 35th annual rugby union cup competition in England. Originally contested between clubs of the English leagues, this was the first season for which the competition was open to the Welsh regions, forming the Anglo-Welsh Cup. The cup is contested between the twelve teams of the English Premiership and the four Welsh regional sides from the Celtic League. The format of the cup is similar to that of the Heineken Cup, beginning with pool stages, with the top placed teams entering knockout stages. Each pool consists of a Welsh region and three English sides, with each team playing the others in the group once, and the top team of each group advancing to the semi-finals.
Pool matches were played in September, October and December 2005. Bath Rugby, London Wasps, Llanelli Scarlets and Leicester Tigers emerged as winners of their respective pools. London Wasps defeated Llanelli Scarlets 26 points to 10 in the final at Twickenham Stadium on April 9.Group stages
