Notes:
- Cardiff Blues qualified for the quarter-finals as Pool 6 winners with a fifth round away win over Gloucester.[4] The bonus point win in the final round of the group stages secured their position as top seed and a home quarter-final.
- Cardiff Blues become only the sixth side in the competition's history to win all six of their pool matches.
- Biarritz place above Gloucester by virtue of having scored more tries in their two head-to-head matches: 4 to 2.
Seeding and runners-up
The winners of each of the six pools are seeded 1 to 6 first by points, then tries scored, and finally score difference. The runners-up are similarly sorted, and the best two are seeded seven and eight and progress to the quarter-finals alongside the six winners. The top four seeds are given home matches in the quarter-finals, with seed 1 playing seed 8, seed 2 playing seed 7 etc.
