[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1168060, member: 72977"] So halfway through how many points do people think will be enough? From what I can see it will depend on the group. If you have 2 teams getting 3 or 4 wins then probably 2 wins is enough to qualify. If everyone swaps wins then it gets complicated and will come down to bonus points. Also realised in theory it's possible to qualify with no wins. Let's take group A as an example. Say Bordeaux and Lyon both get 4 wins and finish between 16-20 points each. Then the Bulls won their 2 games against Saracens and Bristol to finish on 8+ points. Saracens and and Bristol then both beat Connacht but don't pick up any BPs in any game and finish on 4 points each. If Connacht got 2 BPs in every game they lost they could get a maximum of 8 points and qualify. I know it's extremely unlikely, but interesting that in theory you can qualify without winning.
