Saracens teamsheet is wrong mate

8. Palu
19. Waldrom

Joubert misses out

It's not fully updated yet.

Teams having incomplete benches has affected my predictions this week.

Biarritz 13 - 15 Bath
Clermont 22 - 25 Toulon
Leicester 19 - 17 Stade
Leinster 22 - 21 Highlanders
Northampton 13 - 16 Saracens

Biarritz 23 - 22 Bath

Hardseperate these sides, but Biarritz's home advantage and their back row see them snatch a win. Bath have come a long way recently.

Clermont 11 - 15 Toulon

Clermont just couldn't hey going and Hook chipped away at the scoreboard. Impressive debut from King.

Leinster 20 - 19 Highlanders

Highlanders dominated the scrum but Leinster's back row were tenacious at the breakdown. Stirling performance from Sexton.

Northampton 25 - 30 Saracens

Great game for the neutrals, but worrying defence for Northampton in the back three which let Sarries back line carve through gaps.

Ospreys 26 - 25 Toulouse

The O's matched Toulouse in every department and made it tough for them, with the explosive midfield creating gaps.

BO 30 - 28 Bath

Biarritz 19 - 16 Bath
Biarritz just dominated the scrum with a excellent front three, back row also dominated as Croft, McCaw and McCalman look a real force to contend with, Bath centre partnership was the only good thing about their performance.

Leicester 24 - 22 Stade
Home advantage nicks this for Leicester, both sides backs haven't been affected by injury which was key in this game. Genia and Flood though was the better worked half back pairing in this game, and magic from Mermoz yet again gets them the win.

Leinster 20 - 20 Highlanders
Hard battle in all departments best match of the week great entertainment for the home crowd, amazing battle in the backs with both teams front five performing well, but a all Irish back row unit for Leinster got them a well deserved home point.

Northampton 15 - 20 Saracens
Saracens looked too good for Northampton, the wingers struggled to get in the game as an ancient centre pairing got taught a lesson by Nonu and Fourie. Better forwards aswell for Sarries gets them another win and marches them onto a top four place.

Ospreys 24 - 27 Toulouse
Game of attacking rugby was fulfilled to it's highest potential in this one, the line out was key as Toulouse were able to match the second row pairing of Matfield and Sharpe. Sonny Bill Williams and Fruean just wasn't able to click, as Smith used his experience to really get Toulouse over the line excellent creativity from the Toulouse backs edges them this one.
