Even if there were too many landslide scorelines at the weekend – Toulon posting 60 points against Ulster, Leinster a half‑century against Castres – the knife‑edge nature of the forthcoming final weekend indicates that all the wrangling was worth it. At this stage last season, six quarter-finalists were known – this year there is only one so far, Toulon. Six of the games this weekend have significance riding on them. And that can only be a good thing.
