Champions Cup 2019/20 Round 6 - All to play for

Is there anything really for racing in this game?

As they are they host Toulouse.
Win and they host ulster
Win with TBP and they host saints.

Obviously the last is attractive, but unlikely to happen.

Home quarter final, particularly when it means playing indoors in La Defense under the roof. If they lose and Toulouse win, they'll face Clermont away.

Lots to play for.
You are forgetting Toulouse still have to play, so if Racing lose they will be away for their quarter final. Probably in Clermont.

Also if they win with a bonus point they should finish second, which would give them both a home quarter (probably Northampton) and a home country semi.

Toulouse should get a tbp win v Gloucester. I guess a home semi anyways so will want to win

Yep, id forgotten that Toulouse were yet to play

Disregard my post

Here's how things look before last 4 games:

Teams in bold guaranteed of place.

Teams in italic yet to play.

Toulouse should get 3rd with a tbp win and maybe 2nd if they beat Gloucester by 26 points.

Racing win without a tbp will get them 4th.

Saracens win without a tbp win gets them 8th, with a tbp 7th.


1) Leinster 28 (123) Q1st
2) Exeter 27 (81) Q
3) Clermont 24 (93) Q
4) Racing 22 (71) Q
5) Toulouse 22 (56) Q
6) Ulster 21 (22) q
7) Northampton 19 (-17) q
8) Glasgow 17 (26)

9) Saracens 14 (30)
10) Gloucester 14 (21)

They'll get the BP. They want to win this competition now (having tried to lose it the last 2 months).

They wont want to face Leinster in the Aviva.

Exclamation Marc

Saracens two tries up after ten minutes.

Bulldozing Racing.

Very late no arms and shoulder straight into the chin of the player who had passed the ball.

Wasn't huge force in it but a blatant red!! Took Owens a while to give it though.

Billy V off with a suspected broken arm too!

Conor McGregor would have been proud of that hit

For anyone who missed it....

CatFromHue

Who does he think he is....Owen Farrell?

I do have some sympathy for him though as the Racing player ran into him without the ball. Usually when a guy passes like that the tackle dynamic changes where both players pull out of it.

Just putting this out that four tries and a draw sees Saracens go through.

Saracens could well win this game the way the 2nd half has looked so far. Racing still in the dressing room

Munster with the try bonus, all the one as it doesnt affect other results

Looks like its Leinster v Sarries

I think them not physically showing up would be only way that would happen!

Stranger things have happened, we can only watch and hope.
