EPCR Quarter finals
Saturday 7th May:
15h00 Munster v Toulouse (Toulouse had a hard-earned win at home to La Rochelle with, I think, no more additions to the injury list, and may just sneak a narrow win in Dublin, even against the hordes of Munster fans who'll be making the short trip east)
17h30 Tigers v Leinster (I sincerely hope that the Tigers faithful turn up and fill the stadium and drown out the Leinster supporters, who'll no doubt come in droves. Heart says Tigers, but head says otherwise)
15h30 La Rochelle v Montpellier (La Rochelle are my favourites to win the title this year and will put Montpellier away with ease)
Sunday 8th May:
15h00 Racing 92 v Sale (Racing by a country kilometre!)

Re: EPCR Quarter finals
Montpellier's task at La Rochelle will be even more difficult now with season-ending injuries to key players, former Saints scrum half Kobus Reinach and France's South African born 2nd row forward, Paul Willemse.Robespierre wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 10:32 am Saturday 7th May:

Re: EPCR Quarter finals
Munster have had an unfortunate run of injuries to their backrow stars in the last few weeks that will make this an even bigger struggle. Big result if they turn over Toulouse. Agree with La Rochelle and racing winning and of course Leinster to hopefully finish out the semi final listing with a hard fought win at fortress WRRobespierre wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 10:32 am Saturday 7th May:

Re: EPCR Quarter finals
I don’t think Leinster realise what is about to hit them. The WR factor, the suffocating defence, the kick chase. They’ll be looking to silence the crowd first 20 as per usual. I really hope that either way it doesn’t come down to a yellow card or a mistake

Re: EPCR Quarter finals
Ah westwind you seem to forget our secret weapon in Leo Cullen. He brought a huge amount of what we have now in Leinster from his time in Leicester. Don’t worry there will be total respect from the Leinster team towards the massive hill they are about undertakewestwinds31 wrote: ↑Tue May 03, 2022 5:34 pm I don’t think Leinster realise what is about to hit them.

Re: EPCR Quarter finals
Personally I’m just delighted that we’re here talking about how this one is too close to call. 2 years ago we’d have been worried that Tigers wouldn’t get within 50 points of Leinster!
Happy days…

Re: EPCR Quarter finals
What has happened in the past is history. We should approach this game with total confidence but with total respect for the opposition ( I know SB and the team will do this ).Let Leinster worry about us - I am totally convinced that if we play to our full potential we will win!
