[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1071076, member: 72977"] I wonder what would happen if Wasps score 4 tries and get a losing BP, but also lose by more than 20 points. At that point they would be on 7 with Cardiff and Toulouse. However, they would go above Toulouse on head to head, but below Cardiff on points difference. These are the rules that I am assuming are correct from Wikipedia: [LIST=1] [*]Where teams have played each other [LIST=1] [*]The club with the greater number of competition points from only matches involving tied teams. [*]If equal, the club with the best aggregate points difference from those matches. [*]If equal, the club that scored the most tries in those matches. [/LIST] [*]Where teams remain tied and/or have not played each other in the competition (i.e. are from different pools) [LIST=1] [*]The club with the best aggregate points difference from the pool stage. [*]If equal, the club that scored the most tries in the pool stage. [*]If equal, the club with the fewest players suspended in the pool stage. [*]If equal, the drawing of lots will determine a club's ranking. [/LIST] [/LIST] So Toulouse would go ahead of Cardiff but behind Wasps based because they have played each other and so are subject to the first set of criteria, but Cardiff and Wasps haven't played each other so they would be subject to the second and if Wasps got a LBP, but also lost by 21 points or more then you have a situation where each team would be above another, but below another.
