If we finish third likely to be Toulon at welford road

Ospreys (16) *
Toulon (20) (q)
Ulster (18)
Stade (14) *

ASM Clermont (14) *

Exeter (11) *
Bordeaux (11)*
Munster (11) *

Stade V Leicester
Glasgow V Racing
Exeter V Ospreys
Clermont V Bordeaux
Munster V Treviso

Not that it matters much but we're on 23 and Racing on 22

If it's Toulon it's Toulon. But less of the negativity please, we're going to beat Stade tomorrow so Toulon can go to Paris to play Racing.

[Gramps]

No negativity they are more beatable than any time in the last 4 seasons

[MrPartridge]

I've said here before Toulon at home is potentially a good draw for us. Beat them at WR last season and I'd prefer to play them at home rather than in France (which is what will have to do in the SF even if we finish second seeds).

I think a win in Paris is possible, but a HUGE ask to take the TBP too! Realistically I think we need Glasgow to stop Racing taking 5… so time to turn on the tellybox!

Our best scenario at this stage appears to me to be: we finish 2nd and play 7th seeds, Racing beat Toulon and we get Racing in England. Anything else and we now know it'll be a SF over the channel.

[RagingBull]

At Half time stands at

Saracens (28) (Q)
Racing (23) (Q)
Leicester (23) * (Q)
Wasps (20) (q)
Ospreys (16) *
Toulon (20) (q)
Ulster (18)
Saints (18)

Stade (14) *
ASM Clermont (14) *
Exeter (11)*
Boreaux (11)*

Stade V Leicester
Exeter V Ospreys
Clermont V Bordeaux

Can only face ATM
Toulon
Ulster,
Saints
Stade
Clermont

[MrPartridge]

Thanks for the update RagingBull… can't see Racing getting the TBP win in wet and windy Glasgow. Very ordinary first-half all round!

[doublecarpet]

Saints at home anyone?!!?

[MrPartridge]

Certainly time to keep an eye on 7th seed: 13-0 Glasgow after 59!

[MrPartridge]

16-0 now

[MrPartridge]

Saints have TBP so they are 7th seeds now. But both pool runners up from tomorrow could displace them.

[RagingBull]

Going into Tomorrow
Saracens (28) (Q)
Leicester (23) * (Q)
Racing (23) (Q)
Wasps (20) (q)
Ospreys (16) *
Toulon (20) (q)
Saints (19)
Ulster (18)

Stade (14) *
ASM Clermont (14) *
Exeter (11)*
Boreaux (11)*

Stade V Leicester
Exeter V Ospreys
Clermont V Bordeaux

Can only face ATM
Saints
Stade
Clermont

I think
It will be saints If
We don't let Stade get a TBP Win
Bordeaux don't let Clermont get a TBP Win

We play Stade If they score a TBP win v us with bigger PD than Clermont

We play Clermont if they get TBP V Bordeaux and have bigger PD than Stade or Stade fail to get TBP
Win.


This is if we don't get TBP win and higher PD than Sarries.

[Gramps]

Glasgow doing us a huge favour

[Tigerbeat]

Thank you Glasgow!!
