Stade Toulouse: Racing, Bordeaux-Bagles…Which opponents in the final table in the event of success against Bath?
If Stade wins against Bath on Sunday at Ernest-Walloon, it could find some of the inhabitants of the top 14 in the final table.
In the event of a success against Bath (even without the bonus), Stade would remain number 1 in the final table and face number 16, the club fourth in the group with the fewest points. And this club is and will be racing. Explanations. In Group 1, fourth (Saracens) has 10 points. In Group 3, everything is decided and fourth (Munster) has 9 points. In Group 4, La Rochelle and Sale are competing for the last ticket. If there is a winner, he will qualify and get more than 8 points. If there is a draw, La Rochelle will have nine points and therefore one more than Racing. So we progress to the Round of 16 at home to Racing if Toulouse win against Bath.
Another virtual certainty, Bordeaux-Bagels, which should finish No. 4, will appear in the standings table. If they advance to the round of 16 and the quarter-finals, the two teams could meet in the semi-finals.

Stade Toulouse-Bath: What is “cell jurisprudence”, a trap in which Toulouse should not be in the Champions Cup this Sunday
After all, this time, the two European giants, Toulouse and Leinster, will probably manage to avoid each other before the final. Indeed, if Stade get a fourth win against Bath, they will be number 1 with 19 points (like Leinster but with a normal goal average) or 20 points. In both cases, Leinster would then be number 2 in the final table. Since then, the two teams will not be in the same part of the table and will only meet in the final and not in the semi-finals like in previous years.
