Champions Cup standings: Who needs what to qualify for knockout stage?

Estimated read time 1 min read

Fixtures:

Saturday, 18 January – Clermont Auvergne v Bristol (15:15 GMT), Benetton v La Rochelle (17:30 GMT), Leinster v Bath (17:30)

Leinster have already qualified and know a win at home to Bath on Saturday will secure their spot as number one seeds from Pool 2.

Clermont know a home win over Bristol is likely to give them a place in the last 16 because of the difficult games facing Bath and Benetton.

Bristol also know a win would probably take them through if those results also go their way.

A point for La Rochelle, who face Benetton, will be enough to secure their position in the top four, and a win would secure a top-two seeding.

Benetton will qualify with a win, and if they can overtake their opponents – they are three points behind La Rochelle but with a markedly worse points difference – could secure a last-16 home tie, depending on what Bath do.

Bath know a win over Leinster would secure enough points to qualify. However, they can still qualify without picking up any points if results go their way.
