Quarter finals for the ECC.

[TigerCam]

22-5 GLASGOW!!!!!

[MrPartridge]

Glasgow winning 22-5. Boom! 2nd seeds with possible home QF and SF.

All eyes on who finishes 7th. Could be 1 of 4 from my calculations but Saints currently!

[rdracup]

Team changes tomorrow morning perhaps... Or a lot of half time subs to keep within the rules. Why risk first choice team now.

[Gramps]

Clerment anyone ?

[fortysix]

Incredible result from Glasgow-let us all hope it doesnt backfire !!
But at least we should be favourites for the Final

So Tigers supporters in Paris now can really relax--- !!

[MrPartridge]

My mistake, we can only get Clermont from that pool.

Mixed view about tomorrow. We've got to win in France to lift the trophy so would be good to win tomorrow. But would be dumb to get injuries to likes of Burns, either Youngs, Ayerza, Veainu etc.

Cynically: in terms of the standings the game means nothing to us! And I'd prefer SF at home than Saints.

Clermont Win and get try bonus point
Ospreys draw and get try bonus point

Leaves Clermont as group winners and Ospreys coming to Wr


Edit ... Sorry no it doesn't , ospreys would top the group

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.

Hi RB please check the Racing @23 as I believe they are 22points and so does ERC
Yippeeeee! :- http://www.epcrugby.com/europeanrugbych ... /index.php

[rdracup]

We play home Q-F then, subject to a win play Racing or Toulon. If it is Toulon it is in France, if it Racing it is in England.

Reason Racing are Ranked 3, and Toulon 6 and I don't believe any combination of results tomorrow can change this.

[MrPartridge]

Clermont Win and get try bonus point
Ospreys draw and get try bonus point

Leaves Clermont as group winners and Ospreys coming to Wr

I initially thought that but I think if they are level on 19 points, Ospreys win the group as in the head-to-head matches Ospreys picked up 6 points to Clermont's 5.

[kingol22]

We could go all out and try to go for a bonus point win and a huge score, the likelihood of overhauling Sarries is low but if we could pull it off it would mean they would have to deal with Racing/Toulon in the semi.

Unlikely I know but all pressure off us now so may as well give it a shot.

[rdracup]

Unless we win by 40 points and take first seeding from Sarries!!!

[MrPartridge]

There is hope and optimism and there is trying to win in Paris by 40 which is dreamland frankly. Happy to be second seeds. I would have taken that this morning. Just hope Racing turn up in the QF!

Irony is Saints fans will all need to support Tigers tomorrow as 5 points for SF combined with Clermont TBP win and Ospreys win puts them out!

Just looked at the outright betting:

Saracens 2/1
Racing 7/2
Toulon 5/1
Tigers 13/2
Wasps 8/1
Clermont 10/1
Saints 25/1

I tried looking at the various possibilities and it made my head swim (nothing to do with the red wine I have drunk tonight ). I'm sure those nice Sunday papers will have had someone working on it overnight and tell us the options tomorrow morning .

Its quite simple Cagey T
We will be at home in the quarter finals against the 7th placed team. If we win the quarter-final there are 2 possibilities dependent on the match between 3rd and 6th (Racing and Toulon)
1) If Racing win then we are in our home country against them.
2) If Toulon win then we will be away in France
