    Gibson parks passing is exceptional at times.

    As long as he refrains from telegraphed floaters.

    Eddie Jones must be watching this game from behind his couch, can see his pack dwindling in front of him.

    Leinster back play has been predictable and poor so far, forwards making all the gains.

    Wasps doing some amount of tackling.
    Can't see them lasting more than 60 mins at this pace

    If Toulouse and Leinster both win as expected:
    if Toulouse get a bonus point, the QF is Leinster (home) vs Toulouse
    if Toulouse don't get a bonus point, the QF is Leinster (home) vs Glasgow.

    Is the above correct?

    If it is, and if it's apparent at half time Leinster and Toulouse will win, will Toulouse try to avoid scoring a try bonus point in order to avoid Leinster in Dublin as a QF?

    Teams usually focus on playing well rather playing the tournament format, but maybe an opportunity for a Toulouse to sandbag here.

    In fairness they have been trying a few things. If one or two passes had stuck we would have scored a try already.

    How dumb is Nathan Hughes? It's not one of those offsides where it's a knee jerk reaction, he was about 15m offside and had all the time in the world to think about it with the ball bouncing towards him and still went for it....

    Think it's Ulster if they don't get the bonus

    JGP is having a fantastic game so far. Buying his backs acres of space.

    Wasps line speed is helping but he's keeping the tempo and width going and we obviously are looking to throw the ball around and get around the fringes at every opportunity.

    Daly doesn’t even want to be out there. Leinster should put 30/40 points up here easily. Making yards on every carry and wasps have had an awful defense for a couple of years now

    You're right. There's no permutation giving Leinster vs Glasgow.

    But from Toulouse's perspective they'll probably see Leinster away as the worst possible outcome.

    The way both matches are going, I think we could see Toulouse only kicking three-pointers when they reach three tries.
