The South African clubs can earn home round-of-16 and quarter-final games in the Champions Cup, but would play a 'home' semi-final in Europe:
THE SOUTH AFRICAN clubs are set to play in Europe if they go on to earn ‘home’ semi-finals in the Heineken Champions Cup.
Meanwhile, the Bulls and Stormers have won two of their three games and will hope to confirm their qualification for the knock-out stages this weekend. The Bulls travel to face Lyon, while the Stormers host Clermont in their final pool fixtures. EPCR added that “this position may be reviewed if two South African clubs happen to meet in a semi-final.”
The same ruling applies to the Lions in the EPCR Challenge Cup, in which they have won one of their three pool games so far but could still advance into the knock-out stages.
