3-0 Edinburgh Leinster

Leinster pinged for going off the feet, 2nd time so far this game, Munster and Leinster need to sort this out. It's been all Edinburgh as far Leinster yet to get any real possession.

Sale are ahead in France, which would be a big upset, although I think Sale are dark horses in that group. If they beat Clermont away, it will make next weekend's match-ups very interesting.

Yes it's interesting, I have seen Sale play a few times this season and they look very limited indeed, albeit winning in the main, but winning away to Clermont makes a statement alright.

I wish I had sky so I could sack off this Leinster game with the red button and have a look at whats happening in Clermont, this game is over, scrappy and I fully expect Leinster to run away with it.

Same here. The one downfall of the dodgybox imo

On their early season form GP they are more than dark horses, it will be tough regardless but if Sale pull this off today then next weekend will be an exceptionally difficult game for Munster.

As a Munsterman I think a narrow Clermont win serves our purposes best here, got to assume Sale will get at the very worst a losing BP.

Anyone else get the feeling that Clermont will be abandoning the rest of the HEC?

BP win for Sale I think



Also bizzarely on my sky sports live score ticker

In case anyone is intrested

Stirling County 3 - West of Scotland 36

Anyone?

juvenal

Clermont 15 Sale 32.

Looks like they'll hold on for a BP win, in what is a huge result for that pool.

Tries for Sale from Doherty, McAlister, Keil & Cueto, while holding Clermont at home to five Brock James penalties :eek:

Yes, looks like we'll have to do a home and away number on Sale, easier said than done.....I would imagine Clermont will pack it in after this result though which should benefit us.

Could be hard to get that BP back over the course of the group without beating Sale away, especially if they get a BP at home to Montebaun.

Early doors yet though, long long way to go.
