I really hope Glasgow stuff Saracens - would love to see a Scottish side in the last eight and Glasgow have been reasonably impressive at home (and came close to beating Biarritz away).

Edinburgh have rested a few starters(Nick De Luca, Mike Blair, Allan Jacobsen and Ross Ford), so it's unlikely they'll do Leinster any favours. A bit strange considering there next game is 15th February

Any chance Gary McKay is going to play for them?

Hoping for Munster to do it...In Group 6, whatever is needed to ensure that Munster don't meet Toulouse away, I want to happen!

Seedings really need to be fixed from here on out (because of Group 5&6); teams in other groups have no excuse for not qualifying when they should!

I'd fancy Munster to beat Toulouse, even in France.

Munster v Wasps will be played like a cup final but I fancy Munster to win in a tight game.

Given that Edinburgh have rested so many I can't see them getting anything away to Toulouse

But there's always that niggling fear; especially when you consider that the thought may creep in of "if we win this match, the tournament is almost a gimmie"...

Leinster to completely trounce Leicester and Edinburgh to do them a super favour.

Munster, while putting up a valiant fight but just loosing out on tries, will rue their missed opportunity but sportingly wish Leinster luck flying the HC flag for Ireland and applaud them when they bring back the cup to the RDS in the spring.

FACT

Anyone watch the Glasgow Saracens match? Saracens completely out performed them but they did well to hold in there til the end.It's great to see the Scottish teams putting up a fight.

Would love to see Leinster go through but I can't see Edinburgh beating Toulouse.It's a shame as I think they'll beat Leicester tomorrow.

I can't wait for the Munster match tomorrow.Standing under the floodlights in Thomond Park with the rain pouring down in your face.There's nothing nicer in life:)
