Glasgow’s victory over Toulon on Friday means Bayonne have sealed a spot within the Problem Cup by ending fifth no matter their end result towards Exeter.
Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter mentioned: “It is an attention-grabbing state of affairs as we play just about the final recreation of the entire spherical.
“Northampton Saints play Munster the evening earlier than we play, so we’ll know precisely what we have to get the second spot and doubtlessly the primary spot. So, I feel these are all attention-grabbing challenges, particularly for a younger group.
“There isn’t any level making an attempt to not watch their recreation to know what we have to do – however making certain it would not change into a distraction is what will probably be necessary.”
