But Munster will have a quarter there that weekend... would they squeeze two in?

In the dream world where connacht do get a home quarter I'm sure they could organise 2 on the same weekend.

Friday night and the second game on a Sunday would be good, if both were on in Thomond Park would be able to make them both and still go to the Limerick fc game on a Saturday so how bad.

Connacht Leinster could fill the Aviva. Would be epic

Leinster would sell twice as many tickets as connacht giving up there home advantage.
At least in Thomond connacht could sell all their share of tickets.

Fecking hell if that continues Connacht go through regardless of their result?

22-01-2017 04:56PM

Wasps given a score there that I was certain was knocked on over the line.

No wasps scored so as it stands they get a lbp

I've a feeling Connacht could regret those three tries they conceded last week.

To Zebre? It won't come into it. Head to head is what separates teams in the pool.

And Connacht's head to head with Wasps is poor and it'll be poor against Toulouse if they lose this.

sydthebeat · 22-01-2017 05:22PM

wasps 13 - 22 up now

normal service resumes

MattD · 22-01-2017 05:42PM

Wasps have the bonus point now, got a bit of a scare there...!

Felix Jones is God · 22-01-2017 05:55PM

I just can't see Connacht getting the losing bp here

Clegg · 22-01-2017 06:06PM

Clermont v Toulon
Leinster v Wasps
Saracens v Glasgow
Munster v Toulouse

There's your QF's

22-01-2017 06:07PM

Munster v Toulouse is a tasty one.

22-01-2017 06:07PM

I fancy Sarries and Munster out of that group. Others are tough to call with plenty of scope for away wins.

mahoney_j · 22-01-2017 06:08PM

Best 1/4 final we could of got ....

vienne86 · 22-01-2017 06:09PM

All good looking matches. Good competition this year.

Neil3030 · 22-01-2017 06:09PM

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see a couple of upsets in the QF. None are gimmies.

Only two of the eight haven't won it before

Zebre losing their six games by an average of 40 points per game.

No matter what way you argue it, they completely skew the competition and the Italian participation should be reconsidered. Hard to see how it benefits them or Italian rugby by being in the competition

Wouldn't challenge cup rugby for both teams be much better for them, they could be half competitive there.

Tigerandahalf · 22-01-2017 06:14PM

What is the semi lineup?

awec · 22-01-2017 06:14PM

Prediction: Clermont v Saracens in the final based on the draw.

No business being in the competition. Their presence is highlighted by the other three teams in their pool all finishing on a minimum of 18 points. 10 points are guaranteed.

The competition would be better off with Italian teams only allowed into the Challenge Cup until they can qualify by rights with a top 6 finish in the Pro12.

- in France if Leinster win
- in England if Wasps win

Munster or Toulouse V Saracens or Glasgow

- In Ireland or France if Saracens win
- In Scotland if Glasgow win
