How many turnovers has Willis won today.

[Tiglon]

Options getting smaller:

Toulouse win - Leinster away
Bath win with TBP - Leinster away
Bath win no TBP - Bath away
Draw with bonus points - Toulouse away

Looks like option 3 is out, I don't think Bath have gone for the posts all game.

[Pellsey]

Toulouse win - Leinster away
Bath win with TBP - Leinster away
Bath win no TBP - Bath away

How can this format be acceptable?!!

Time is running short as well!!

[Tigerbeat]

Leinster away it is!

[Greenwhiteandred]

Leinster it is

[Pellsey]

Lovely, Dublin....

[Tiglon]

Try Toulouse, we're off to Dublin.

[Scott1]

And that’s the dream over for another year. Have to go full bore v Quins now,our season could essentially hang on that game!

[Bristol Tiger]

Leinster it is

Yep - Deja vu, all over again …

[Scott1]

Maybe I’m trying to justify it or trying to cheer myself up,or both,but didn’t we draw SF once after crushing them in the group stages or did I make that up?

[Greenwhiteandred]

Could we have one year when we can avoid Leinster. Isn’t that 3 years in a row we’ve had them in the knock out stages?

[TigerFeetSteve]

There was a lot of talk about the fact we were in the group of death, there were plenty saying that even getting into the Challenge Cup would be a big success (especially when we drew Stade away not at home)

So a bit of perspective here is that even last sixteen should be viewed as a success.

[Bristol Tiger]

Given Exeter are getting thumped, looks like the round of 16 will be:

Toulouse v Racing 92 ®
Leinster v Leicester ®
Northampton v Munster ®
Bordeaux Bègles v Saracens ®

Harlequins v Glasgow
Bulls v Lyon ®
Stormers v La Rochelle ®
Exeter v Bath

All those marked ® are repeats of match ups in the group games …. I think it needs a radical rethink for next season.
