    Could go either way here. Besides their 8 point win v Wasps, its been 1 point and 2 point wins vs Leinster and Bath. Think they will be looking to push on in 2nd half but could be tight

    1) Saracens, 18 points, 67 PD
    2) Toulouse, 17 points, 26 PD
    3) Racing, 14 points, 43 PD (Game in hand)

    6) Leinster, 15 points, 82 PD
    7) Glasgow, 14 points, 38 PD
    8) Ulster, 14 points, - 2 PD

    Possibly:
    1) Saracens, 18 points, 67 PD
    2) Racing, 18 points, 58 PD
    3) Toulouse, 17 points, 26 PD
    4) Edinburgh, 15 points, 48 PD
    5) Munster, 12 points, 38 PD

    It would quite a step forward for Scottish rugby if they manage to get two sides into the Quarter Finals.

    Round 5 is huge


    Ulster v Racing
    Glaws v Munster
    Leinster v Toulouse

    Edinburgh and Tigers wins tomorrow really would shake the competition up

    The Scottish teams I am sure will manage to f**k it up somehow :P


    If they do get 2 in, Ireland gets 3 in


    Watch complete meltdown in the French and Englsh leagues again....

    They only have two teams in it and Scarlets are mathematically gone. There's no way Cardiff manage to come out ahead of Warriors.

    I think Glasgow will at least as a runner-up. Don't think there will be a runner-up in Edinburgh group so depends how results go there.

    I wouldn't have predicted it before the tournament started but Newcastle v Edinburgh tomorrow is a huge match.

    Yeah it's hard to see a runner-up in that group so massive game. Don't think many would have Montpellier and Toulon not qualifying. Lyon failed to show up too.

    Racing with 3rd try at 20 mins. They will have tbp by half-time at this rate so should go 1st.

    Healy wont stop going on about it being a penalty and should then be a penalty try.

    Should have been a penalty against Neil Back too all those years ago. Move on :D

    Leicester are dreadful. No defence, no set piece, turning over ball every time.

    Whinging about Coles' yellow for leading with the elbow now too saying Coles didnt look. He knew exactly what he was doing.
    Warburton agreed with it saying he's had a fractured eye socket from an incident like that, silence from Healy since.

    Terrible. Yet they are still staying in the game - bodes well for Ulster I think.

    I thought Leicester actually put themselves in position to compete but just blew it at key moments. If they'd won their lineout and driven over just on half time, or if Ford had actually managed to pass to someone instead of just firing the ball anywhere, the might have have gone in at the break only 6 points down. It's game on from there. They look very poorly coached, it'll probably take some time to undo whatever MOC did to them but I doubt Murphy is the man for the job.
