Heineken Cup 2022/23

[Ruckedtobits]

Has anybody looked into the crystal ball and can foretell whether the winner of Leinster v Ulster can meet the winner of S.O Else v Munster in the quarter final of the Heineken Cup?

[Xanthippe]

All 8 URC clubs in the Champions Cup have qualified for the last 16

And 7 of the other 8 should qualify for the Challenge Cup last 16 with only Zebre losing out

Champions Cup round of 16 will be 8 x URC, 3 x Top 14 and 5 x Premiership

Challenge Cup round of 16 will be 7 x URC, 3 x Top 14, 1 x Premiership along with Lyon, Racing, Clermont and either Sale or Irish

Leinster's QF will be the winner of pool B 5th place team vs pool a 4th place team

Munster can't finish 5th in pool b. They would need to beat Toulouse by 22 points and not get a 4 try bonus point. Thats very unlikely.

At the moment Leinster's QF would be the winner of Saracens vs Toulouse but both of those teams get to play. Its probably going to be the winner of Sharks vs Ospreys.

Don’t think that’s right. Winner of our match v Ulster plays winner of 4th in Pool B v 5th in Pool A.

[neiliog93]

It'll be winner of Leicester vs Quins.

[ronk]

All the French teams didn't qualify in pool 1.

1 French team (Clermont) didn't make it in pool 2. Pool 2 has 2 teams qualified with only 1 win (Montpellier can still make it to 2).

[ronk]

Confirmed now. Ulster it is.

Unless Montpellier lose by 28+ points at home to London Irish tomorrow.

Paddy Jackson back to help his old mates. I don’t think so.

If Montpellier were in line for a trip to SA...

(They could be if they win and Saracens lose, and they won't know in time)

[riocard911]

Edinburgh off to a flying start vs Sarries. 10-0, eight mins.

[riocard911]

Edinburgh scrum gets munched. Peno Sarries, which Goode pops over. 10-3, 16 mins.

[riocard911]

High tacke by Jamie George gets him absolutely flattened by the Edinburgh 7, a yellow card and a HIA.

[riocard911]

Another high tackle by the Sarries 3 with the same result: flattened, yellow card and HIA. Unbelievable.

[riocard911]

Jamie George coming back on? Don't agree with that decision. He took an awful blow to the head and suffered huge whiplash as he hit the ground.

[riocard911]

Edinburgh letting Sarries back in, didn't convert a gold-plated chance to score a try from a five yard peno. And now their scrum gets munched again.

[riocard911]

Goode peno from 40 metres out. 10-6, 37 mins.

[riocard911]

Ref letting Sarries away with murder at the breakdown. HT: 10-6.

[Ruckedtobits]

Edinburgh and the Referee butchering what should be an Edinburgh lead of about 15 points. Two yellow cards for Sarries for head-on-head collisions, both of which should have been red.

A Ref who has lost the game.

[Schumi]

Saracens gave away at least 4 penalties on their line in the last two Edinburgh attacks with no yellow card.

[desperado]

Edinburgh doing their best not to score. Mata rush of blood taking quick tap; ye cannae do it yerself man

[desperado]

Another high tackle by the Sarries 3 with the same result: flattened, yellow card and HIA. Unbelievable.

Can't believe George passed a HIA check.
