I guess if you think a match will be drawn then you should select both teams playing as opposed to selecting neither, as both will receive points from the match.

My personal predictions...!

Scarlets v Castres Olympique H
Munster v Northampton H


Pool 2

Racing Métro 92 v Cardiff Blues A
London Irish v Edinburgh H


Pool 3

Montpellier v Leinster H
Glasgow v Bath A


Pool 4

Ulster Rugby v Clermont Auvergne H
Aironi v Leicester A


Pool 5

Saracens v Benetton Treviso H
Ospreys v Biarritz Olympique H

Pool 6

Toulouse v Gloucester Rugby H
Harlequins v Connacht Rugby H

The only upsets I think might happen would be Bath RFC beating Glasgow at Firnhill and the Blues beating Racing in Paris. Other wise everything goes with either seeding or Home advantage.

Should be some close games though, especially pool five.

Clermont, Harlequins, London Irish, Leinster, Leicester, Saracens and Toulouse show that voting agrees they are most likely to win their games this weekend.

Many other games winners and losers seems far more undecided...

First results of the Weekend

Cardiff and Harlequins are winners

I am amazed no one thinks Treviso stand a chance. They have already beaten Ulster at Ravenhill and Munster at home in italy. they are a good side.

After seeing what lowly placed Connacht just did to Harlequins Saracens may well come unstuck tomorrow.

75% picked racing metro to beat the blues

I didnt

Well done...!

To be fair I thought the Blues would put in a good performance but didnt think they would win.
Great result for them and a poor one for Racing. Home wins are a must.
