Beaten 28-0 on green carpet, the reigning European champion will not face Cardiff and no longer has his destiny in his hands. With 7 points, Stade Toulousain can still qualify. To be eliminated without playing, two results out of four different matches must play against him.
Wasps must bring at least one draw from Munster;
This Friday evening, Castres must win with at least 8 eight points on the lawn of Harlequins;
Llanelli must obtain an improved success with more than 25 points difference in Bristol;
Stade Français must obtain an improved success with a 35-point gap against Connacht.
Stade Toulousain would therefore be unlucky if two of these scenarios occurred this weekend…
