Heineken Cup discussion - next season
First topic message reminder :
With this season's Heineken Cup almost over with an All Irish final - Leinster vs Ulster I thought it would be a good time to talk about next season.
Who are you looking to forward seeing? Who do you want to avoid?
The Aviva Premiership sides who have definitely qualified:
Harlequins
Leicester
Saracens
Northampton
Exeter
One of Sale/Bath/Gloucester (Sale are the favourites)
All Pro12 sides bar Dragons.
Leinster
Ospreys
Munster
Glasgow
Scarlets
Ulster
Cardiff
Connacht
Treviso
Edinburgh
Some Italian side (replacement of Aironi)
Congratulations to Connacht for qualifying for their 2nd consecutive HC.
Top 14

Clermont
Toulon

There are only two sides I wish to avoid - Clermont and Leinster.
The group of death I would like: Munster,Toulon,Saracens,Stade Francais/Biarritz. That would be a cracker.
An easier group:Cardiff,Edinburgh,Saracens,Castres
Thoughts?

The Leinster/Harlequins/Scarlets matches would surely be entertaining.
You've tripped over the old "all groups must have a French (and English) team in them" rule.
As the old 1970s tee shirt used to read....
Yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death . I shall fear no evil. Cause I'm the meanest motherfocker in the Valley!!!
Bring them on I say. Whoever they are they will be more scared of us than we are of them........ Well.... let's make Clermont 1st seeds though. Hedge d'aul bets like.
