Champions Cup 20/21 - Quarter Finals

Allez (Les bleus)

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Sale
Exeter
Racing
Toulouse

Pretty hard to call as nobody seems to be really ahead of the rest and quite contrasting styles. Mostly just gone for the teams that put in the most convincing wins over the weekend.

La Rochelle

I think any of those 4 or Chiefs could win the cup. Chiefs and Leinster are probably each others worst match up but with the week's rest after a tune up v Munster and Hogg's inability to beat Johnny I fancy us to scrape it.

To be fair most people struggle to beat it with a Johnny, oh wait...

Believe Leinster only have three fit senior backrowers for this match and are missing Ryan and Ringrose. Could do with JGP being fit to add tempo late on.

Be interesting to see how Exeter deal with a team that actually defends around the corner and can scrummage...

I appreciate a Sale fan may not understand how the knockout stage is structured, but this is the quarterfinals. You don't have to worry about the semifinals.

To be fair Sale is the only club where there average attendance is up this season So for that alone I hope ye do shock the world.

But ROG was in NZ so not a hope ye will outsmart him. Even the average Cork man is a cute hoooooor

if ever there was a mix of Cork and Manchester that is it :O

Obviously the picture has him dressed up there.

When they realise in La Rochelle that the greatest Irish 10 is against them and not the HC though

Out of curiosity, when was the last time Sale made the knockouts?
