Can't see Leinster not having a home quarter. However a"home" semi by being seeded 1 or 2 is probably out the window.

Looks like we would need freak results to not get a home QF

Shocking decision from the ref.


Too many mistakes. Luke McGrath had a nightmare of a game.

If accepting the draw was the plan, why did Conan fight to stay out of touch? Disjointed as fock

So, predictions:

Clermont 26
Munster 25
Sarries 25
Leinster 23
Wasps 22
Con 19/21
Glasgow 18
Mont 16

Wasps in the Aviva potentially?

Likely to be a home QF against Wasps.
Away SF against Clerment.

Tough tough game. The kids did well. No home semi, but maybe a home qf. Well done lads. :happy clapper: :happy clapper: :happy clapper:
Edit: Connacht would have to beat Toulouse by 62pts.

Munster need to get 5 points tomorrow, and could well get top 2.
What odds did you get?
Home SF against Sarries in the Aviva.

What needs to happen for Munster to play at home to Leinster if they win their QF I wonder?

Well, talk of a "golden generation" shown to be somewhat premature in Stade Pierre Antoine! That was a truly poor performance from the squad. I wonder if the focus of some of the players was affected by being talked in certain quarters? Whatever the reason, given what was on the line that was probably our worst performance in the pool games.

A lot of mistakes tonight but missed Sexton & Nacewa.

Unfortunately 4th seed means if we beat Wasps we will probably have to go to France v Clermont in SF which is the worst possible outcome.

Think Munster & Clermont will win this weekend so have to hope Toulon beat Saracens we get no 3 seeds probably home to Toulouse/Connacht.

Looking like a home QF against Wasps, or if Sarries don't beat Toulon, a home QF against Sarries.

Am I right?

Did very well to prevent a try at the end but boy was that an error filled performance or what? Some serious try butchering all night long allied to a series of shocking missed tackles and a couple of unforgivable lineout c~*k-ups made for very ugly viewing. There was no way that we should have failed to beat such an ordinary side. Luke McGrath had such a dreadful game that you would long for Chris Whitaker or even Boss. It does seem that 9 is our Achilles heel. Isa was very unIsalike with some exceptionally poor kicking.

Lets hope that Jonny is ok

Only slight variation to that might be Toulon beating Sarries away, which could result in:
Clermont
Munster
Leinster
Wasps
Sarries
Con
Toulon
Glasgow

or else Toulon beating Sarries away and Conn losing to Toulouse:

Clermont
Munster
Leinster
Wasps
Sarries
Toulon
Toulouse
Glasgow

Somebody check my maths though!
