Montpellier have contested three home fixtures in the Top 14 since qualifying for the next round of the EPCR Challenge Cup. They lost 38-30 to Toulon before beating Castres 21-17 and Stade Francais 38-32.

Gloucester placed fourth in the European Challenge Cup Pool 3 after they beat Edinburgh 15-10 at home, lost 43-19 to Vannes away, and defeated the Scarlets 31-7 at home before losing 55-17 to Bayonne away. 

Gloucester have played four Premiership Rugby Cup and Premiership fixtures since those results. They defeated the Cornish Pirates 26-19 and the Exeter Chiefs 22-14 before losing 22-17 to Newcastle and 42-26 to Bath.
