Pool 1
Gloucester (20 points) are sure of qualifying for the knockout stage and a bonus point win against Bayonne on Saturday will guarantee a home quarter-final. If La Rochelle (19 points) defeat Benetton Treviso at home, they will also go through and the TOP 14 club could top the pool depending on the Gloucester result
Pool 2
With an away trip to Newcastle in Round 6, Ospreys have already wrapped up a home quarter-final, and win, lose or draw at Kingston Park, the Welsh region look set to be No 1 seeds going into the knockout stage.
Pool 3
Brive (18 points) and the Newport Gwent Dragons (14 points) are preparing for a Pool 3 shoot-out. If Brive win at home in Round 6, they will go through to the quarter-finals for the 12th time in their history. However, if the Dragons come away with a victory and deprive Brive of a bonus point, then they will seal their place as they have five match points to Brive’s zero from the Round 1 match between the clubs.
Pool 4
Home wins for Bath (18 points) and Cardiff Blues (17 points) over Pau and Bristol respectively will see both clubs through to the last eight. A defeat for one or the other, and there could still be hope courtesy of a best runner-up spot.
Pool 5
Victories for Edinburgh (19 points) against Timisoara Saracens at Myreside, and for Harlequins (18 points) in Paris would see both clubs through to the quarter-finals. However, with the outcome of the cancelled Round 5 match between Timisoara and Stade Francais Paris to be decided shortly, this pool is still very much in the balance.
