Pool 1
Brive, Connacht and Newcastle Falcons all still in the running. Brive (15 points) travel to Falcons (11 points) on Saturday, while Connacht (14 points) host Enisei-STM. Suffice to say that if Brive and Connacht finish level on match points, the Irish province have a points difference advantage from the two head-to-head games between the clubs. In addition, if Newcastle defeat Brive they could still qualify as one of the three best runners-up.
