[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 88543"] I honestly can't see Ulster winning away from home much as I would like to see it happen so qualification isn't even going to happen let alone getting to the last 4. Munster certainly have used a fair slice of their luck in their opening match but looked awesome at times against Bourgoin, who actually showed up for once. Leicester will probably need to pick up maximum points before they get to Thomond to have any chance. Can't really comment on Biarritz as I've yet to see them but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they get a record points haul out their group, 26 is the previous best and you could easily see them getting 29. I think the Scarlets have been the most impressive Magner's league team, despite Munster's performances, to have 9 points after an away trip to England and the Magner's league champions is no mean feat. Although having to go to Ravenhill and Toulouse doesn't make their qualification anyway near certain. Leinster, jeckyll and hyde as per usual, if they can get 2 wins against Agen we should be alright given our record in England. The Perpignan Castres double header will go a long way to deciding who tops that group for me, especially if either team can get both wins which would really dent Wasps' chances cause getting 10 points from Treviso is easier said than done. Paris should probably qualify as one of the top seeds, can see them getting the big away wins in Wales and England to book their passage plus maximum points against Calvisano shouldn't be a problem. If Sale can get a bp in Paris that should put them in the driving seat for the runner up spot which could see them through. All in all pretty good start to the competition, certainly whets the appetite ahead of the Autumn internationals. [/QUOTE]
