I thought about that as well but they have more rugby under their belt than Castres so giving them benefit of the doubt

Bordeaux played only 1 game this season, won against Brive and it was very messy.
Only 1000 spectators allowed this weekend, Edinburgh to win this one.
Aye I think embra will bounce back from the ulster defeat and take this.

so btsport carrying all the games and the french broadcasters are sharing some... nice..... reason i hate bsport is that when they are showing football as well, they move rugby to their "extra" channels which u can never find a feed for..missed a lot of london irish games last season because of it..

I have to say I didn’t expect to see Sarries and Tigers in the semis of their respective comps.

Fucking hell, dazzling rugby from Toulouse, speed of service from the ruck is something England could only dream of.. .looking ominious for Ulster, this could get ugly

8 - 3 Toulouse, Toulouse really need a high percentage kicker to make them a complete side

Colby mugs Stockdale off again, Stockdale really is a shithouse defender. 15 - 3 half time, Ulster hanging in there.

Saints have has multiple chances where a pass or offload would have lead to a clear break, just not taking the chances.
