Bath and Toulouse advance
Related Articles
26 January 2009
Bath, the 1998 European champions, will visit fierce rivals Leicester in April after winning Pool Five. Three-time tournament winners Toulouse, meanwhile, must travel to face Cardiff Blues.
The quarter-final picture is completed by reigning champions Munster hosting Blues' fellow Welsh challengers the Ospreys, with Harlequins hosting Leinster.
Scoring in Somerset was restricted to a penalty apiece, with Toulouse fly-half Jean-Baptiste Elissalde cancelling out his opposite number Butch James' second-minute strike.
Wasps slipped out of the competition after a 21-15 defeat at Castres.
The two-time European champions had to win in the south of France to keep alive their hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals - and looked to be on course when Dominic Waldouck handed them the lead 13 minutes from time. But a host of missed chances before a second try for Thomas Bouquie handed Castres their second win of the campaign, ending Wasps' interest in this season's tournament.
Four first-half penalties from Felipe Contepomi proved enough for Leinster to beat Edinburgh 12-3 as they went through as winners of Pool Two following Wasps' defeat.
Defending champions Munster secured a home quarter-final following their 39-13 bonus-point victory over Montauban.
A brace of tries from Lifeimi Mafi and replacement back Barry Murphy added to Tomas O'Leary's opener for an emphatic win.
In Sunday's other game Glasgow earned a narrow and jittery 13-10 home win against the Dragons to avoid the wooden spoon in Pool Five.
