Worcester Warriors and Perpignan have provided the most competitive rugby of this season's tournament - but the Warriors now need some outside assistance if they are to qualify as the group winners.
The clubs are level on 15 points apiece and if two teams in the same Pool finish on the same number of match points then group honours will initially be decided by the ones who have earned the most number of match points from the head-to-head matches.
Worcester and Perpignan have earned five points each from those contests and if they still cannot be separated then the club who has scored the most tries in the two matches go top - and Perpignan are ahead 3-1 on that score.
"We have just got to look after ourselves in our two remaining games, make sure we get the bonus point and do all we can do to get the maximum 10 points and see where we end up," said Warriors' head coach Richard Hill ahead of their Round 5 contest at Rovigo.
"We are going to have to hope that Bizkaia Gernika or Rovigo play well enough against Perpignan to deny them a try bonus point but it's not in our hands now. If Perpignan beat the other teams with a try bonus point then they will go through.
