From a Prem pov Wasps, Bath, Sale and Exeter should be odds on to win their games.

Not sure how Lyon stack up to rate Glaws' chances. I get the feeling Clermont may be on the slide, so Bristol could be alright.

I suspect Saints and Quins, who probably wouldn't be looking too hard at Europe anyway, are unlikely to claim results.

It's been said before, but... most ridiculous tournament format ever!
