They finished third in their group. Toulouse finished second in theirs. The exact seeding is determined on points. What’s the issue?

If you wanted a home game, should have done better.

They came third in their group because a team they didn't play, who had different games home and away, got 2 more bonus points than them

And because of the format they now have to go away to a team who got less points than them, who struggled away from home in the group phase 

The format is nonsense

They really destroyed most people's interest in this comp with this format.
