[edit] Seeding and Runners-up

Notes:

Cardiff Blues qualified for the quarter-finals as Pool 6 winners with a fifth round away win over Gloucester.^[4] The bonus point win in the final round of the group stages secured their position as top seed and a home quarter-final.
Cardiff Blues become only the sixth side in the competition's history to win all six of their pool matches.
Biarritz place above Gloucester by virtue of having scored more tries in their two head-to-head matches: 4 to 2.
