If the Rainbow Cup is cancelled Ulster won't have played for 3 weeks, not sure if that will be help or hinderance

Toughest draw we could have but home advantage could be big

Yup, and let's just say we are overdue a win against them!

Champions' Cup semis to be played on May1/2:

Leinster v La Rochelle
Toulouse v Bordeaux

Luck of the Irish to be drawn at home. If it'd been the other way round I'd have fancied La Rochelle's chances. However, they're a very good team and have an outside chance.
Toulouse v Bordeaux will see the two outstanding fly halves in European rugby going head to head. Home advantage should see Toulouse through, but it's a semifinal and anything could happen!

Yep agreed. Would rather play them at WR in the Semi then face bath in the final though than play Ulster in the final.. at least we get them out the way playing at home. We have won 9/11 at home this season.. starting to rebuild the fortress!

We have a huge 3 weeks now. Prem games against Bath and Saints then Euro SF. Will be a good indicator of how far we’ve come
