I am not sure, but I imagine it involves cheering on Castres, Edinburgh and hoping the winner of Tououse/Bath doesn't get a losing bp.[/b]

it doesn't matter who wins pool 2 but even if Toulouse get a losing bp the Ospreys are still through

 

[MunsterMan]

Yeah, I should have just said bath

Leicester were terrible. Sure, they were 'street-wise' and all that jazz, but regardless of what Geordan Murphy says, they didn't turn up to win the match; no, they turned up to keep in touch, and they only succeeded in this because of the ineptness of the Ospreys' backline.

bet Jones is really kicking himself for not taking that penalty now, away at Thomond as a result

 

[Sir Speedy]

They'll be away at Cardiff though if Toulouse win, right?
I'm sure they'd prefer that; I'm sure any side would!

no they'd still get Munster cause the Ospreys have scored 4 more tries, so if Toulouse win we get

Cardiff v Bath
Munster v Opsreys
Harlequins v Leinster
Toulouse v Leicester.

if Bath win we get

Cardiff v Toulouse
Munster v Ospreys
Bath v Leinster
Harlequins v Leicester

even with a draw the Ospreys would still be going to Thomond.

But wouldn't a win for Toulouse put them on 22 points, and thus demote Ospreys to eighth seed?
Wait... Toulouse are on 18 points now, right? :huh:

no the 2 runners-up are 7th and 8th seed regardless of the points they have and with all 3 outcomes still possible Bath or Toulouse will be behind the Ospreys

 

[stormmaster1]

why not get Henson's big boot used for penalty touch kicks, given how far Hooks kicks went?

 

[cyRil]

Look don't start now, I've been asking that for 3 years.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Because maybe he can't kick?
Do I need to call attention to his punt on Saturday which gained... a metre?

 

[cyRil]

Under pressure, right on the touchline. Murphy also kicked one like that. It's not uncommon in that situation.
