Cardiff Blues captain Xavier Rush is under no illusions about enormity of the task that faces his side in next week's mouth-watering Pool 3 climax at Bristol.
The talismanic New Zealander refused to get carried away about the prospect of qualification to the knock-out stages after the Blues 23-12 victory over Harlequins, citing the crunch match at the Memorial Ground as the one where his side's fate will be decided.
He said: ''To have the group go down to the last game is great, that's what it's all about. But Bristol is a very tough place to go so we're going to have to roll up our sleeves and look forward to the challenge. It will be hard but our fate is in our own hands and that's the position that you want to be in.''
The Blues scored two tries to beat the Quins in a match they dominated for large periods but man-of-the-match Rush was not wholly satisfied with their night's work.
''I would have taken 23-12 before the game and we've definitely played worse recently but we did make errors in our own zone and we would have liked two more tries but it didn't happen.
The pack did another good job though and we are playing with each other, for each other''.
