Bordeaux-Bègles have qualified for the play-offs for the 2015/16 European Rugby Champions Cup.
Bordeaux-Bègles, who finished in seventh place in the Top 14 table, will meet the winner of the play-off between Gloucester and Connacht to decide which club will secure the 20th place in next season's Champions Cup.
That clash takes place at Kingsholm Stadium on Sunday and either Gloucester and Connacht will have home advantage against Bordeaux-Bègles on Sunday, 31 May.
Gloucester qualified for the play-offs by winning the Challenge Cup earlier this month and were awarded home advantage for their play-off following a draw carried out by the EPCR Board.
Connacht were the highest-ranked club in the PRO12 which did not qualify automatically for the Champions Cup.
