[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1182879, member: 73144"] We can cut this whatever way we want. 3 in the QF is good. But not reading anything into it, particularly as home advantage seems huge. If Libbock had nailed his last gasp kick we’d have been looking at 8 home wins in this round. Only La Rochelle - reigning double champions - managed an away win, and by a single point. Always going to get one through with Chiefs v Bath. Quins needed a late try and should probably have lost (you could perhaps see why Borthwick has reservations on Walker, not that he exactly has Lawes type jumpers to aim at). Only Saints really looked convincing. In the next round it's hard to see Quins and Chiefs, both away in France, escaping pretty comprehensive defeats. Saints at home to Bulls have a shout. Still, if you want your glass half full we have 3 times as many representatives as Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Italy combined. :) [/QUOTE]
