International quality throughout
Hard fast running rugby
Use centre to make the breaks and look for offloads
Impact bench to play for a big score

Biarritz 10-26 Worcester
Could see Warriors backline causing quite a few issues for a weak Biarritz side.

Calvisano 3-40 Chiefs
Too easy here for Chiefs, quite like their centre partnership.

Bath 36-5 Grenoble
Bath too strong and their Welsh boys will tear the place up!

Stade 14-28 Sarries
Sarries coming out stronger, Stade have experience on the bench which may get them a few points but not enough.

Biarritz 15-19 Worcester

Strong Worcester outfit, too much for a struggling Biarritz.

Irish 42-6 Rugby

Easy win

Cammi 13-28 Exeter

Exeter won't have things all own way esp in front 5 but they'll ease through.

Bath 39-3 Grenoble

Easy win

Biarritz 18 Worcester Warriors 25
London Irish 45 Mogliano 3
Calvisano 6 Exeter Chiefs 43
Bath Rugby 35 Grenoble 10
Stade Francais 19 Saracens 24

Biarritz Olympique 15 - 35 Worcester Warriors

BO aren't the side they once were, although there are some tries in the elusiveness of Ngwenya and Brew. But Warriors have too much all in all. 

London Irish 45 - 7 Mogliano


Complete mis-match in quality of the sides. Comfortable home win for Irish. 


Bath Rugby 41 - 8 Grenoble

Again another mis-match in quality. Grenoble does have some quality in their ranks, but in the Bath 23 there is too much ability.

Stade Francais 17 - 27 Saracens

Stade will be difficult at home, but nowhere near a full strength side for them. Therefore Sarries have enough to see of the Parisian side. 

Biarritz 15 - 27 Worcester Warriors
London Irish 72 - 5 Mogliano
Calvisano 10 - 57 Exeter Chiefs
Bath Rugby 43 - 12 Grenoble
Stade Francais 22 - 27 Saracens

Biarritz 24 Worcester Warriors 25
London Irish 60 Mogliano 59
Calvisano 41Exeter Chiefs 42
Bath Rugby 33Grenoble 32
Stade Francais 19 20 Saracens

Biarritz 17-23 Warriors

Calvisiano 10-45 Exeter
Stade 23-27 Sarries

Biarritz 15 - 20 Worcester Warriors
London Irish 59 - 5 Mogliano
Calvisano 25 - 67 Exeter Chiefs
Bath Rugby 43 - 9 Grenoble
Stade Francais 21 - 25 Saracens

60-59????

Heck of a game by the sounds of it

Biarritz Olympique 16 (T:1 C:1 P:3)

Predictions close at three so any after that haven't been taken into account

Ah I get it it's the one point thing!

Yes it is. Had you winning by a lot but could not write up predos due to feeling so sick.

Not sure this one point thing works for me?
