Clermont v Wasps
</div>
Having taken a weakened side to Munster and suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of the former champions Clermont have made numerous changes from that side bringing back virtually the team which played in the opening game against the Scarlets. So a much stiffer tests awaits the defending champions than what Munster got.
If Wasps pull off this one then qualification should be a given, if not it could give us a mouthwatering game when they come to Thomond Park in January. My hunch though is a home win.
