QF looks almost certainly Leinster or Connacht.
Agreed. Exeter can’t catch Leinster on PD realistically so it will be Leinster in the QF at MWWR (assuming we win our R16 and they beat Connacht) :smt023

Scarlets are also terrible though.

Genuinely poor side

To win any comp you have to beat the best. Rather have them at home than a neutral venue even in England

As someone said earlier I’d sooner play them at MWWR in the QF than at a neutral venue in the Final.. have to play some of the best teams if we are going to win it :smt023

Just watched highlights of the Glasgow La Rochelle game. Interesting to note that La Rochelle were down to 13 men in the final minutes thanks to this forums favourite official, otherwise the margin of victory would have been much greater.
Also one of the Rochelle centres seemed to have borrowed Inspector Gadgets arms for their first try
