Well in any case Clermont knows that they have to get out the H-Cup pool stage if they want to be in an easier pool in the future. Let's be honest, Clermont deserve better than tier 3. The whole Top 14 thing is a very long run, but Clermont have the bench to make it to the top 4 and play the H-Cup besides, easily. Toulouse makes it this year and their roster is not so good IMO.

But as always don't underestimates Munster... and Sale too ! I think that Montauban will lose all away games (with a B-Team ?) but they can make one or two surprises in their fortress, and this may be the difference maker. Clermont lost at Montauban this year so they are warned.
