[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 399172, member: 48703"] it's because one nation hosts the World CUp the semi finals were not neutral, Aviva Stadium and STadium MK were the larger home grounds of the two teams, and both Leinster and Northampton fans would of outnumbered greatly the opposition yes those matches were closely matched teams, and the home advantage factor was what swung each time, apart from the Biarritz match (although they got a lot closer to winning than they would of without it) so with 2 legs the team which deserves to go through more would do, not just the team that wins between two evenly matched teams because they're at home it's too predictable, and would far less predictable if it was played over two legs [/QUOTE]
