Flip. Flip, flippidy flip.

Well, I suppose we can take Tigers, at least we have them at home.

Well, I suppose we can take Tigers

Famous last words


Saints, Tigers, USAP, Toulouse for me

 

[Feicarsinn]

Hey, I'm not happy about it, but you gotta beat the best if you want to win it or so the cliche goes.

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Pretty much worst case scenario for Leinster... Let's hope we don't see a repeat of the 2005 quarter final. That was a depressing day!

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Great result for Northampton...


I predict a Leinster vs Northampton final

Saints v Perpignan would be massive!

 

[veux]

Looks like Leinster vs Biarritz and Northampton vs Perpignan. I'm betting on a Leinster Northampton final.

 

[Conal]

only got sky sports last week
and this looks freaking awesome!

 

[Feicarsinn]

Home Semi! Sweet. Now, let's face up the English champions.

 

[Teh Mite]

Tigers vs Saints final IMO

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Leinster will likely have to overcome the French champions, English champions, European champions and English runner up if they're to make the final. If they get there, they'll have done it the hard way.

If an English team gets through to the semi finals, due to stadium size issues would the semi be played in Twickenham?

 

[Teh Mite]

Amlin Semis: Stade or Montpellier vs La Rochelle or Clermont, Brive or Munster vs Wasps or Quins

 

[Teh Mite]

If an English team gets through to the semi finals, due to stadium size issues would the semi be played in Twickenham?

Leicester would use the Walkers Stadium, Saints likely to use Milton Keynes or Coventry.

Looks like Leinster have this years Heiny in the bag, no other team has looked anywhere near as good, including Toulouse.

 

[Nielsch]

Is Leinster gonna take this match to the Aviva Stadium?
