Runners up are always 7th and 8thSuz wrote:Is the seeding on points only or are the two best runners up always 7/8th. Just that if we get the bonus point win but still qualify as runner up we would have more points then Toulon. So do we finish above them?

Re: Calculate the quarter finals !
I agree with the above - If perp beat Scarlets then Wasps have nothing to play for as they are through to the Amlin QFs anyway, so I would expect a Toulouse win. However Toulouse have to win AND score 2 tries other wise Saints are seeded 1 on tries scored. Still quite likely IMO but a dogged forward affair might not produce a high scoring game. If all that happens we would travel to toulouse and whilst the game might not be as winnable the venue is much better and what the H cup is all aboutsilverfish wrote:Given the strength of the Perpignan pack I can't see past a 5 point win for them tomorrow. I don't think Wasps will beat Toulouse either, especially when there's virtually no chance of them going through even with a winning bp. I therefore predict the quarter final line-up to be:
Toulouse -- Ulster
Northampton -- Leicester
Leinster -- Toulon
Perpignan -- Biarritz
An all-English QF would be disappointing, but it's probably the most winnable away game.
Tigers are in my blood
Re: Calculate the quarter finals !
The conspiracy theorists at Sky were suggesting that Toulouse's performance would depend on which QF opponents they fancied given all would be clearer by the time they kick off.
Nevertheless I still reckon Wasps will beat them.

Re: Calculate the quarter finals !
As far as I can work out...
If Toulouse win with 2 or more tries. Its Saints away.
If they win with only 1 try, its Toulouse away.
If they lose, its Leinster away.
If Toulouse draw, with less than 4 tries, its Leinster away.
If Toulouse draw, with 4 tries or more, its Toulouse away.
Saints away seems the most likely, and the most favourable I think, especially if its at Milton Keynes!
BRING IT ON!

Re: Calculate the quarter finals !
Toulouse have their first already. 0-7 with 15 mins gone
Re: Calculate the quarter finals !
Leicester did what they had to do and will be looking back at that draw against Perpignan last December and thinking - if only. What is done is done and it looks like a tasty quarter-final encounter against our East Midlands neigbours the likely outcome.

Re: Calculate the quarter finals !
16 all now in Wasps - Toulouse, much closer than I imagined. Wasps are a man down, so the teams have 14 each. Anyone know what the red card was for?
Re: Calculate the quarter finals !
For an alleged spear tackle on Varndell. Looked harsh to me; certainly a lift but no intent to put head or shoulders into the ground, rather thrown onto his back. Silly and reckless tackle without a doubt.

Re: Calculate the quarter finals !
We play Leinster away. Toulouse would have 23 points and would be 3rd seed. Top two stay as Northampton and Leinster.Anyone know what happens if Was Tou stays 16-16?
