yerp, ospreys have overtaken leicester as my most despised team, would love to demolish them

[liam2me]

[Liathroidi Mor]

Does that mean toul in the semis??

[liam2me]

nope, not necessarily, i can't remember if it's an open draw or if its 1 v 4 and 2 v 3, if that is the case, should we beat the ospreys we would be at home to the winner of quins and leinster :D

[Liathroidi Mor]

Nice!!!

[cit_gym_rat]

its an open draw for the semis, partly worried about the hairsprays, on there day they are capable of beating us.

[raZor]

Blues v Toulouse would be my tie of the round anyway.

Hopefully Quins will get a good game out of Leinster, they've been terrible lately.

i dunno about that, they were very average against leicester on the weekend

[Proinsias]

Hmm, there's 4 likely winners from those ties, Munster, Toulouse, Leinster and Leicester.

If that did happen, the semi finals would be cracking.

I think I might try and get tickets to the Leinster quarter final if they're bringing it to twickenham and making the tickets cheap again. IIRC, they were £10 last time, which I think would get them a full house.

Not a bad draw at all for Munster, I would say it's about as good as can be expected. Ospreys are a damned good bunch of individuals but that's their problem.


Toulouse should beat Cardiff, Leinster might struggle against Quins, who have improved no end under Richards but again should win it. I think Bath - Leicester is the hardest one to be certain about.

[cantankerous bastard]

Leinster have been fucking awful lately. They are a disgrace to the level of talent in the team.

They just cant finish teams off, to not get a try yesterday having been parked on the line for so long was irritating to watch.

Draw for the semis is tomorrow...that could be very interesting if those four come through the QF's...would love to see an All Irish Final...

wouldn't write cardiff off yet, they can be dangerous on their day and toulouse have proven they can falter at times

In fairness though, Cardiff came through one of the weakest groups there and are 2nd last in the Magners League.

They're a handy team but basically achieved nohing of note in the past 10 years.

I wouldn't be bricking it if I was a Toulouse fan...

true, but cardiff can be intimidating and toulouse are just as capable of bottling it as leinster (see glasgow this year, leinster in 2006, etc.)

[cit_gym_rat]

any news on cardiff moving it to the mellenium stadium, it woudl be a mistake in my opinion to take it from the bear pit of cardiff arms park

[Redshirter]

It's an open draw for the Semis my arse if so how come Munster always are drawn away in the Semis if it is an open draw why out of the 7 semi Finals that we have played 6 of them have been away and you can make that 7 out of 8 this year if we reach the Semi

Ya I agree, they have a great chance of making it all the way and to throw that away for the sake of a quick buck would be reckless. Saying that Toulouse will hardly be as bad as they were previously. Still think this will be tie of the round, unless Leinster get their act together.

Munster got a home draw this year.

Your theory has been blown out of the water.
