Yes- I wonder…it was going to be only my second time at Welford Road in a decade, my nephews first game, like so many I’m gutted.
Sorry for that mate! Do you know if your ticket carries over for the home leg of the second round match?

28-0 TBP win 5 points for us 👍
We are top with 19 points. So if Quins get a BP win with a PD of more than 7 then they will top the group with us 2nd. If they fail to get the TBP win then we top the group

You would fancy them to do that. Still have a funny feeling we will be playing Montpellier but I havnt looked at theirs or Chiefs teams yet

Quins make 9 changes from last weeks team

Whilst bad commercially this can only be to our advantage long term with players resting and guaranteed a top 2 place.

So we are guaranteed a QF home tie if we get through but because we are a top seed do we also get our second round first leg away too?

The quarter finals are a two leg affair so we were guaranteed a home match anyway.

Top 16 is not the QF

We get to play second leg of last 16 at home.

Also higher ranked teams get home QF and Semi which are single games.

Isn’t the semi final also played in the UK (home country) if we are top seed?

Yes both at home! Shall we get quietly excited?

Interestingly the French Ligue National Du Rugby are talking legal action over the cancellation of the Toulouse game but not this one

I've just had an e-mail from the club to confirm that tickets will roll over to the round of 16 fixture in April which is very welcome. That includes season tickets and match day tickets. Hopefully you will be able to make it to that when the times and dates are finalised. :smt001
