    Absolutely everyone here is predicting an away win for Toulouse in Montpelier, I wouldn't be so sure...

    1. Saints 23
    2. Clermont 23
    3. Toulon 22
    4. Quins 22

    5. Toulouse 22
    6. Leinster 22
    7. Racing 20
    8. Saracens 18

    Point difference is going to be important, and gives the teams playing later in the final weekend (Toulouse, Clermont, Saracens) a serious advantage over the likes of NH, Racing, Leinster and Quins.

    When it comes to PD nobody has anything close to advantage on Northampton who have a PD of +109. The next highest after that is Cleromnt on +39.

    Bloody Treviso.

    Yeah, but it's still an advantage, e.g. Clermont might go into the Saracens game knowing they need a BP, or that nothing they can do will overtake Saints etc.

    Alternatively, Clermont will know exactly who they will be facing if they finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and maybe they decide they're not that pushed about finishing top...

    It's not impossible for Leinster to end up with an away QF to Johnny Sexton's Racing :O

    certainly prefer that to the more likely away game v toulon or CA

    Would that not require a Johnny Sexton-less Racing to win in Northampton mind. Stranger things have happened mind but I wouldn't go wagering too much on that probability


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,077 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    So actually we haven't a bloody clue. Well if Leinster end up going away to CA, I'll just HAVE to go there.....been on my bucket list forever.

    Yes you will.

    Go to 1:10 here and watch from then on. We ended up drinking with those lads with the flag and M&Ms after the match. And the way they lined the streets for us at 1:43 was awesome. Best. Day. Ever.

    Wow, what looks class. Whats the chances of Connacht ever eliciting such a passionate crowd if we ever happened to play against them down there?

    Class fans. I was lucky enough to meet them in Bordeaux. Still cherish the Clermont flag I got via a swop.
