don't be silly Scott. Leinster, of course. And for the semi

Nottingham 1995-2000

A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Nicky Smith on the bench
Sale sent a very mixed side. Interesting it was played at Brewery field so much more of an atmosphere
From what I gather Sale sent their first choice in terms of who is available. All the starters missing are injured
Ford not injured, reserve props, no LCD, sounds unlikely to me and seriously back fired

You mean how the seedings worked out following Leinster winning at La Rochelle. Why does everything have to be suspect,

Is Saints winning this the best for us?
Bulls should make it really tough on them especially with that pack

Looks like Saints will be hosting the Bulls next weekend. Might be the Sunday game

I know the fans don't matter any more, but it's ridiculous to expect the paying punter to sort out inter-continental travel plans with less than a week's notice.

I reckon it’s ridiculous to expect fans to pay for inter-continental at any time.
Large South African presence in London so hopefully a few will travel up to Northampton.

Reckon the Bulls stand a decent chance

I’m going Leinster, Bulls, Toulouse and Bordeaux as semi finalists with a final of Leinster v Toulouse. You could have money on that being the final before a ball was kicked if it does happen

I've a sneaky feeling Saints might turn the Bulls over at the Gardens. Toulouse, Bordeaux and Leinster, I agree, will be the others.

Saints must start as favourites and a certain amount will depend on the side the Bulls send over, I think it’s the closest to call of the 4 though you never know with La Rochelle

Cannot see anyone stopping Leinster this year.

Still not a fan of being able to use the Aviva as a home and neutral venue. I know why they can do it but I would like to see a rule whereby a ground where you have played any of the previous rounds as the home team could not then be classed as a neutral venue.
