Biarritz to secure quarter-final place

Pool Six/Biarritz v Overmach Parma, Parc des Sports Aquilera (6

Pool Six/Biarritz v Overmach Parma, Parc des Sports Aquilera (6.0):The only imponderable in this match is the final score as the home side are guaranteed to rack up not alone a victory with a bonus point but also guaranteed qualification for the play-offs. In the final round of matches Biarritz have to go to Northampton and their mindset for that match will be interesting.

They can afford to leave a host of internationals on the bench tonight including Julien Peyrelongue and Dmitri Yachvili. Centre Romain Cabannes, newly promoted to the French squad for the Six Nations championships, partners Argentina's Martin Gaitan in midfield. Biarritz to win with plenty to spare.

BIARRITZ:B Dambielle; P Bidabe, R Cabannes, M Gaitan, J Marlu; M Bosch, J Dupuy; P Balan, B Noirot, B Lecouls; S Dellappe, J Thion (capt); S Betsen, M Dridi, T Lievremont.

Parma:A Little; R Robuschi, A Orsi, A Chillon, N Mazzucato; A Canale, J Pellicena (capt); M Barbieri, L Zanini, T Paoletti; F Minello, JM Soffredini; R Barbieri, L Pascu, M Vosawai.
