THE PREDICTION
Stade Francais have suffered back-to-back defeats on the road at Castres in the Top 14 and last Saturday at Bristol Bears to leave them rank outsiders to qualify for the last 16 as travelling Connaught come with some work left to do. Connaught came within two points of becoming the second team this season to beat Premiership leaders Leicester Tigers last Saturday and a 10-8 win over Munster the week prior is pretty excellent level to take with them to Paris. Connacht won the reverse fixture 36-9 last month but Stade Francais are tough customers at home. Give the away side a hefty +5 head-start.
