The Vodacom Bulls went 3-0-1 in Pool 1 play and will host its first round match in the Investec Champions Cup playoffs. Two South African-based teams will host Round of 16 games, with the DHL Stormers welcoming back-to-back Champions Cup winners La Rochelle. 

But the Bulls get another French club from the Top 14, Lyon. Hailing from its namesake city in France, Lyon finished third in Pool 1 with a 2-0-2 record. 

The Bulls earned the No. 6 seed in the playoff bracket after picking up wins over Saracens and the Bristol Bears.
