European Challenge Cup Round 6 Preview

The European Challenge Cup heads into its final round this weekend and there are still three pools which are undecided heading into Friday’s clashes.

To qualify for the quarter-finals, one must either be a pool winner or be one of three best-placed runners-up with the highest number of match points out of the five clubs that finish second in their respective pools.

Clermont Auvergne, the competitions on unbeaten side, and Worcester Warriors are the only two teams that have already qualified for the knockout stage of the tournament so far.

There are three pools that are still up for grabs and it’s the Sale Sharks, La Rochelle and Harlequins which currently top them.
