[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 503778, member: 33219"] Simples. Leinster are the best team in Europe. They're head-and-shoulders favourites. Next you have Clermont and potentially Toulouse who are capable of matching Leinster at times. Then you have a group of sides who should be there an there abouts: From the Rabo: Munster, Ulster, Edinburgh, Ospreys, Scarlets. From the Aviva: Quins, Leicester, Saracens, Northampton From the Top 14: whichever other teams take it seriously, they'll all have good enough squads. It would be nice if they sorted out the qualification too. Top 6 from the Rabo, top 6 from the Aviva, top 6 from the Top 14, one more from the league that produces a winner and one more from the winners of the Amlin/ best placed team to not qualify. that would leave us with toulouse, clermont, toulon, castres, montpellier, racing; leinster, ospreys, munster, glasgow, scarlets, ulster; quins, leicester, saracens, northampton, exeter, sale. With cardiff and biarritz getting the wild-card. That might at least make the Rabo into a non-mickey mouse league and mean the likes of Sean O'Brien and Rob Kearney have to play in more than 6 league games a season. Which might make the Heineken Cup fairer... [/QUOTE]
