I thought, at ht, that Scarlets would run away with it.blockhead wrote:Great win for the Scarlets, they dogged that one out in the 2nd half, and that makes it all the more impressive. Big crowd, big win. Could this be a turning point for that club. Maybe more locals will realise that they have a fantastic team.
Toulon also qualified btw, 2 teams from a group with an Italian team in it. Some things never change.
Toulon dogged it out too.
Based on that performance I'd consider them the biggest French threat.
Clerment and Racing would be roughly equal imo.

Think a draw would have had Ulster qualified

Saracens looking very likely now. Ulster capitulating in Coventry.

Aye Saracens is scant reward for that qualifying campaign, rather harsh if it pans out.

Have to beat what’s there. Negative thinking and cowardly management have cost us in the past. We have far and away the greatest squad around and, if we get our selection right we can have no fears. Saracens have been easy meat for us in recent times.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
Can't see anything else than us being "rewarded" for winning all our games with the opportunity to take on the most disliked organisation in European rugby.
Pity it isn't next week though. I'd like that.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
most likely followed by a semi v Munster if we overcome Sarries.

Not at all; we get a prime chance to play and beat the EPRC standard bearers at home- well the Aviva. I embrace that.Inquitus wrote:Aye Saracens is scant reward for that qualifying campaign, rather harsh if it pans out.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
Switched off Wasps vs Ulster after the former got their fourth try. Ulster were abysmal. Much as I would have liked Sarries not to make the knock-out stages, a home quarter final against them would be the perfect opportunity for Leinster to give them a good hiding and show them who the true kings of European rugby are.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
sure; but unlikely. I'd be v surprised if La Rochelle win in Thomond esp if they show the form of their last few outings including today v Quins.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
Leinster
Clermont
Scarlets/Munster
Munster/Scarlets
La Rochelle
Toulon
Racing
Saracens
If Munster get TBP then they swap places with Scarlets which would suit Leinster and Munster.
46mins gone Munster have 2T.

Re: European Rugby Champions Cup
am I correct in saying Munster win with a bonus, they;ll overtake Scarlets and be third seeds? So it could be Sarries, then Scarlets? Edit: dunno who I'd prefer Munster or Scarlets
