The only game where result might be close is Dragons vs Wasps on friday.
Dragons have nothing to play for and Wasps need to win to secure home advantage in QF.

Perps and Worcester are level on points in their pool, and both have games where they should get maximum points and therefore Perps will go through.
Stade lead pool 5 by 5 from Grenoble so only need a losing bonus point to win pool. They play London welsh at home so I'm banking on a 5 pointer. Grenoble will get 5 pts but realistically cannot catch Stade.

The final winners of each pool should be
Bath, Glaws, Wasps, Perps and Stade F.
They will be joined by best losers from Heineken . Not 1st and 2nd best losers but 3rd, 4th and 5th.
