Re: European Challenge Cup Round 1
Exeter Chiefs 32-18 Brive
Not a bad Brive side but will really struggle at the set piece. There is a bit of everything in the Chiefs back line and they should edge the territory battle while having the spark to score a few tries.
Bath Rugby 57-7 Bucharest Wolves
Routine win.
Lyon 18-26 London Welsh
Good form in the Welsh flanks and with Trinc Duc pulling the strings win out but Lyon no pushovers at home and prevent any bonus point.
Bayonne 15-22 Saracens
Sarries edge the pack battle but don't dominate here. Steyn at 10 needs form but the midfield is potentially mouth watering. Should win out but again don't see a bonus point forthcoming.
London Irish 62-6 Rovigo
Routine win plenty of potential in that midfield long term Prop!

Re: European Challenge Cup Round 1
Exeter 32 - 19 Brive
Quite a comfortable win at home for Exeter.
Bath 52 - 10 Bucheresti
Pretty comfortable.
Lyon 23 - 32 London Welsh
not an easy fixture for Welsh but they've gone in strong and take a good away win.
Bayonne 19 - 20 Saracens
This isn't an easy fixture in Basque country and Saracens scrape the win. Bayonne have some real quality outside of the front five and in the backs and at home will have considerable periods of pressure. Saracens have a enough to come through but its not an easy win.
London Irish 55 - 11 Rovigo
Pretty simple stuff for Irish.

Re: European Challenge Cup Round 1
Chiefs 32-12 Brive
Good Chiefs side and their pack will win the game for them, Brive not firing at the moment and tend to give up when they fall behind.
Bath 58-10 Bucharest
Simple here for Bath, their kids will run the show and the bench will pull it away.
Lyon 20-30 Welsh
Welsh needed to take the game to Lyon and with that backrow they will come away with a win with a great balance there.
Bayonne 18-23 Saracens
Francis has impressed me a lot this season and is keep Low out of the squad. Sarries will have enough travelling to quite a hostile environment, a very exciting backline on show too.[/b]

Re: European Challenge Cup Round 1
Pretty routine across the board....
Exeter 45-3 Brive
Some slight form issues for Exeter but as we've seen Brive are not a side that travel well.
Bath 48-3 Wolves
It'll be a brutal game but too much quality here for Bath.
Lyon 17-35 Welsh
One of the tighter games but Welsh easy win.
Exeter 45-3 Brive

Exeter 45 - 11 Brive
One sided. Impressed with Lopez today
Bath 50 - 9 Wolves
Young team from Bath but another class
Bayonne 8 - 39 Saracens
Centres ok for Bayonne, otherwise Sarries much better. Even away
Irish 55 - 3 Rovigo

Exeter40-19 Brive
French clubs not treating the challenge seriously.
Routine win
Bath 52 - 7Bucheresti
Walk in the park
Lyon 26- 35 London Welsh
Most difficult game of the round. Welsh have the pack to steal a great win
London Irish 55 - 11 Rovigo
Routine. At home with loads of fire power. Irish score for fun and then empty the bencj

Re: European Challenge Cup Round 1
Exeter 44 - 15 Brive
Easy home win.
Bath 84 - 0 Wolves
Bath could have won by 50 with 13 players.
Bayonne 14 - 28 Saracens
Tough place to go, but Sarries record easy win - not sure who the no9 is for them though.
Irish 62 - 8 Rovigo
Easy win for Irish - only tough games are against the French clubs this week!
Lyon 15 - 32 Welsh
Similar to Sarries game, but Welsh have too much quality and walk it as well.

Re: European Challenge Cup Round 1
Bath 68 - 0 Bucharesti Wolves
Easy win, a complete mismatch in ability, good start for bath too.
Bayonne 17 - 31 Saracens
One of the toughest trips away from home in the challenge cup. The atypical big french pack create a test for Sarries, but they have enough quality and firepower outwide to seal the win.
London Irish 58 - 7 Rovigo
Another routine win against inferior opposition.
Lyon 19 - 35 London Welsh
Lyon are a gritty and hard side to take apart at home, and create a good test for Welsh. But Welsh have got the quality in their side to take a bonus point win away from home.
