[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 320088, member: 13739"] Toulon is a very big shout. They lost to the Blues at Home in the Amlin final, and I think the Ospreys are possibly a slightly better team than the Blues (not much in it though). I'll be backing the Ospreys to top the pool as I think their end of season performances have been a genuine turning point for them. Blues also have a big chance to top their pool. They showed they're mettle at the end of the season, winning away at Toulon in the Amlin Final. They won't have a bad first half of the season like they did last season, and I can see them beating Northampton at home, if not away too. Edinburgh have yet to perform in the HC, and they dropped off badly towards the end of this season, so I'd hope the Blues can do the double over them. Castres away will be an important match. Welsh bias obviously, but I think I finally have the right after both teams claimed trophies this season, the hard way! Scarlets and Dragons (especially Dragons) won't be push overs. Hopefully both can show some better form in this seasons HC. The Dragons have recruited quite well, so I have some hopes for them, but it's a tough group. Scarlets can beat everyone in their group on their day, but Leicester will be too strong at home, as should Perpignan. Not sure what to expect with the Scarlets tbh, last season showed that they can pull off some good wins, but can be shocking too. Confidence will be all important for them. [/QUOTE]
