Referees to 22 January 2017
After all Connacht and Wasps are neck and neck in Pool 2. There are five pools but eight teams make the quarterfinals and so there is room, too, for three who do not win their pools.
That means that Toulouse, third in Pool 2 at present, are still in with a chance, and this weekend Connacht play Toulouse in Toulouse with experienced Stuart Barnes to referee it – on Sunday it is, the last match of the pool stage. Wasps play winless Zebre in Parma.
