In the past four seasons, only Leinster (twice) have won all six Pool games, but Biarritz are red-hot favourites to repeat the impressive feat at struggling Northampton Saints next weekend. Biarritz fans may be wishing for a loss, however - no team have ever won all six Pool games and gone on to hold the trophy.

Centre Marcelo Bosch claimed a brace of tries and scrum-half Julien Dupuy kicked five conversions on Friday night, while there were also tries for Petru Balan, Benjamin Noirot, Serge Betsen, Martin Gaitan and Philippe Bidabe.

Parma's solitary reply came with a penalty goal from Alejandro Canale to make the score 7-3, but it was one-way traffic after that.
