Toulon 18-23Saracens

Stade 24-26 Highlanders

Toulouse 25-25 Leicester

Bath 20 - 18 Ospreys
With the additions of Mas and Daniel to the pack, I think Bath are now competitive upfront. At home they scrape a win, as the Ospreys struggle again on their travels, with out of form half backs

Stade 22 - 23 Scots
Although I normally favour the home team in my predictions, I really can't see an area where the French side are significantly better. Was considering a draw at one point, but the huge return of form of Jane and the imminent return of Barnes swung it for me.

Toulouse 22 - 18 Leicester
The league's best team lost some strength up front this week, but that was negated by the loss of Castro. The half back partnership is nothing short of sensational and the back row is envious. Toulouse have an incredible 8-9-10 axis, whilst the Tigers equivalent have mixed form.
