[QUOTE="osullie6, post: 498851, member: 56740"] I don't know if the fact that Edinburgh got to the semi-finals necessarily proves a whole lot though. I think any cup competition is going to throw up aberrations from time to time with certain teams progressing much further than people expect. If you look at the five quarter-finalists from the Rabo three of them were in contention for getting into the semi-finals right up until recently and Cardiff Blues weren't that far off either. Also, even if there was a competitive HC place awarding, say top 8 or even top seven, the only one of this years quarter-finalists from the Rabo who wouldn't qualify for next years competition would be Edinburgh, and like I said I don't think one example necessarily proves the argument.
