The final round of the pool stage of the Champions Cup takes place this weekend .

Seven sides have already qualified for the last 16 of the 2024-25 Champions Cup.

The top four sides from each pool qualify, with the top two gaining home advantage.

The teams finishing fifth in each pool will drop down into the Challenge Cup .

Leicester Tigers , Toulouse and Bordeaux have all qualified.

A bonus-point win for Toulon in their final game at Sale Sharks on Sunday will secure top spot.

Harlequins face Glasgow on Saturday - and their points difference advantage over fifth -placed Sale means picking up maximum points would probably secure their spot.

Racing 92 are away to Racing 92 - and Racing 92 need to win and rely on results elsewhere.
