Heineken Cup guide - Pool Six
Biarritz flyer Takudzwa Ngwenya gets away from IRB Player of the Year Bryan Habana

All three non-Italian teams will fancy their chances in the final pool, with minnows Calvisano in the running only for the most-advertising-ever-seen-on-a-shirt prize.

Gloucester appear to have reached a crossroads, with their young team needing to shake off the promising tag and start putting some silverware on the table.

Despite their status as Wales' big city club, Cardiff Blues have struggled in Europe since reaching the inaugural final in 1996, so last season's quarter-final spot was progress.

Biarritz are the pride of the Basque country and in Takudzwa Ngwenya (far left), they have the man, from the USA via Zimbabwe, who shredded Bryan Habana in the World Cup and will pose a threat to any defence.

Which clubs will do well?
