Heineken Cup Betting

Warper

The 1/4's are on this weekend.

Leicester look a big price to me at 2-1 to beat Leinster and are also a big price at around 7-1 to win it outright.

Toulouse might be worth a look too at 10-11 to beat Biarritz.

Definitely wouldnt be going against Leinster tbh, they are currently the best team in European rugby, and I say that as a Munster fan, and with home advantage, they look a good thing to me, also the standard in the English premiership is on a marked downward spiral.

Do you think? I think the Premiership has really improved this season and a couple of the teams have really progressed.

I think it is more competitive alright but imo the standard is slipping and will continue to untill they either remove or increase the salary cap, wait and see the exodus to France this summer, the English clubs simply cant compete financially.

what the thinking on ulster + 10 looks good to me , think your right about english league being of a lesser standard

If Leinster turn up they could win well. And the chances are they'll rise to the occasion.

I think it'll be within the 10 but I remember Ulster getting hammered away to Biarritz earlier on in the season.

You should visit the rugby forum if you want more advise.

Away teams in the Heineken have a terrible record, but Ulster have impressed me this year and thay have a very exciting team, if a little inconsistent. If I was doing a book on this I would have them probably around +7 so yeah +10 looks good, but I dont think id have a large bet on it.

leinster 7/1 to win it outright isn't a bad bet considering they have a home quarter and semi. Ulster +10 on the handicap must be a good bet. Matt Williams pointed out during the week that Northampton have never played in that ground before and that there would be a big Ulster support travelling over as well as up from London. That will negate the home advantage. Bet of the weekend for me, I'm all in!

7/1! What bookie do you use, I reckon the best you would have got before the weekend was 5/2, they're 6/5 now.



I see confusion with Leinster/Leicester.
