Toulouse, Stade Francais and Biarritz will make up three of the eight quarter-finalists and all stand a decent chance of reaching the final of the tournament, which will be held in Paris.
The last club from the Top 14 to win this tournament was Toulouse back in 2005, but curiously, the last time the final was hosted in France’s capital, Leicester Tigers lifted the prestigious trophy - back in 2001
However, you can’t rule out the reigning champions Leinster, who have looked strong once again in the group stages; while an outsider such as Northampton Saints, who have already enjoyed a fine season in the league and in Europe, could spring a surprise.
For us, we’re tipping Munster, who have proven their prowess in this competition and have looked strong once again this year.
