The two matches in each Pool in Round 6 will have simultaneous kick-offs and with priceless home advantage in the quarter-finals up for grabs there is everything to play for on what has the making of another tension-packed final weekend of Pool action of the 17th tournament with valuable ranking points at stake for all clubs including those out of knock-out contention.

There will also be plenty of drama from this evening onwards in the Amlin Challenge Cup with two clubs in each of the five Pools still in contention for top spot. The most dramatic weekend of action in European rugby will kick-off at Edgeley Park on Thursday night when two-time tournament winners Sale Sharks host former Heineken Cup holders Brive.
