Bath Seal Top Seeding as Stormers Advance, Bulls and Sharks Keep Hopes Alive

Final places and home ties now depend on Sunday’s results, with Scarlets’ trip to Northampton and Toulouse’s clash with Sale set to decide the remaining permutations.

Overview

  • Bath thrashed Edinburgh 63-10 with nine tries to clinch Pool 2’s top seed, as depleted Edinburgh now await other results to learn their fate.
  • The Bulls rallied 26-24 at Pau to end a seven-game skid and stay in last‑16 contention, leaving qualification to Scarlets’ result at Northampton after Pau’s elimination.
  • The Sharks crushed a rotated Clermont 50-12 to climb to fourth in Pool 1, but their progress hinges on Toulouse v Sale later in the round.
  • The Stormers beat Leicester 39-26 in Cape Town to book a last‑16 spot, with stand‑in captain Sacha Feinberg‑Mngomezulu contributing seven points.
  • Glasgow, Sale, Leinster, Harlequins, Bordeaux, Bristol and Northampton had already secured places in the knockout stage before this weekend.
