After four palpitating rounds of pool-stage action, the EPCR Challenge Cup knockouts are confirmed. As the 12 qualified sides welcome four from the Investec Champions Cup, the road to Bilbao is on.
Montpellier Hérault Rugby boast the top seed for the knockouts thanks to their perfect, 20-point group campaign. In search of a third title, the Montpellerains will face fellow French side USAP at home. The Perpignan outfit has impressed this term, with an impressive win and bonus points, booking them a spot in the Round of 16.
Benetton Rugby are second seeds after their four wins from four, and welcome Cardiff Rugby to Italy. A draw and a win saw the Welsh side through in what was a tense Pool 3.
Elsewhere, Connacht Rugby return home to face Hollywoodbets Sharks, while Munster Rugby travel to Exeter Chiefs.
Stade Français Paris will welcome Dragons RFC in the Round of 16 as well. The Soldats Roses remain unbeaten at home this season but face a Dragons side who have seen a renaissance this year in the EPCR Challenge Cup.
Third seed Ulster Rugby will also benefit from a home advantage and host Ospreys, while Zebre Parma go up against Section Paloise in Italy.
Newcastle Red Bulls were finally de-horned in Round 4 after three wins in the pool stage, and their reward is a home tie against Stade Rochelais, completing the Round of 16 draw.
