Six clubs will return to European Challenge Cup action in December with 100 per cent records as they prepare for the back-to-back matches in Rounds 3 and 4.
Bristol Rugby - who lead the Guinness Premiership - top Pool 1 with Saracens (Pool 2), Brive (Pool 3), and ASM Clermont Auvergne (Pool 5) also unbeaten while in Pool 4 NEC Harlequins and Bath Rugby are only separated by Harlequins' try bonus point earned at home against Montpellier in Round 2.
And the 10 Round 2 matches attracted 51,048 fans through the turnstiles with Bath Rugby leading the way with 10,308 at The Rec to see them pip Connacht in a thrilling finish.
It was a second dose of heartbreak for Connacht in eight days as they now have two defeats against their name but just a -3 points difference after going down 19-18 to NEC Harlequins and then 21-19 to 1998 Heineken Cup winners Bath Rugby.
