Connacht and Leicester Tigers face each other on Saturday in Pool B of the Heineken Champions Cup knowing that a positive result could put them into the knock out stages depending on other results over the weekend.
At the moment, Leicester are third in Pool B on 9 points from their two games so far with Connacht in sixth on 6 points. Stade Francais who Connacht play in their last pool game, are tenth on 2.
The decision of the EPCR to declare postponed games as 0-0 draws with 2 points going to each team now makes the upcoming final rounds critical for any team who wish to make the last sixteen with the three immediately below going into the European Challenge Cup and team twelve going out of the competition completely.
The games this weekend in Connacht's Pool are as follows:
Friday January 14th
Castre v Munster - 9pm
Cardiff v Harlequins - 8pm
Saturday January 15th
Wasps v Toulouse - 1pm
Connacht v Leicester - 3.15pm
Bristol v Stade Francais - 8pm
Sunday January 16th
