Involved in the pool stage were the 23 clubs that qualified through their respective domestic leagues, and one that qualified via the Italo-Celtic play-off match in May 2007. The 24 teams were divided into six pools of four teams each, with each team to play each of the others in their pool once at home and once away. At the end of the pool stage, the winners of each pool advanced to the quarter-finals, along with the two best runners-up. The teams were then seeded, first by pool position, and then by points attained, in order to determine which teams received home advantage for the quarter-finals. The draw for the pool stage took place on 20 June 2007 at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. The 2007–08 tournament was the first in which no team had yet secured a quarter-final place by the end of Round 5.http://www.ercrugby.com/eng/12_8439.php Its going down to the wire [sic] ERCRugby.com 15 January 2007 15 January 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20080116232441/http://www.ercrugby.com/eng/12_8439.php 16 January 2008 dead All times are local to the match venue.
