So as we've hit the half way mark it's interesting to take note of the pool standings and see what possible draw we may have for the quarter finals. Pure speculation I know but what the hell.
As things stand we've got Leinster as top seeds, although they're hardly performing like champions at the moment, followed by Leicester and Cardiff Blues who also have 14 points but an inferior try count. Quins and Toulouse are the other unbeaten sides but Toulouse have yet to find real form in Europe this year ominously so for their opponents. Quins remain unbeaten, fortunately so for them given events in Paris yesterday.
As for the rest, Sale head the way in the pool of death while the 2 runners-up spots currently lie with the Ospreys and Paris.
All leaving us with this possibility for the quarter finals.
Leinster v Paris
Leicester v Ospreys
Cardiff Blues v Sale
Harlequins v Toulouse.
So what odds on this being the final draw for the knock out stages, not much I imagine, you'd get good odds though. No Munster or Wasps. 2 Welsh clubs again? Your thoughts???
