Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
So if it ended like this it would be Leinster vs Saints - again in QF - ok fine , but usually part of the fun is when we play different teams. I remember when Sarries hammered Glasgow and then got Glasgow again in the QFs. It make it repeative. Anyway 3 more round to go and lots will change. As Long as we sty top 2 I am ok. It was great results this weekend with us getting a 5 and Exeter/Toulouse limited to a 4pt result. Shame Sale didnt pull of the victory.Twist wrote:No BP for Exeter today

Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
Is there a simulator/predictions site somewhere where you can guess results to see what the permutations look like?

Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
It's likely that Myles' original pool toppers will be the same although the most likely order now is-
Leinster
Exeter
Racing
Clermont
Toulouse
Ulster (A win away to Harlequins is their key game)
Glasgow (Their home game v Exeter is the key game)
Northampton maybe but there is a long list of alternatives.
As always BPs will decide, that LBP that Saracens got against Munster gives them a chance and has almost certainly cooked Munster's goose
If Glasgow qualify then Exeter will drop a place or two.
Leinster can help the Saints to qualify by getting well ahead next Saturday and then gifting then a TBP.

Toulouse should be good for a top 4 seeding. They're 3-0 and in 13 points.Oldschool wrote:It's likely that Myles' original pool toppers will be the same although the most likely order now is-

Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
Leinster are ahead of Exeter on both tries scored and points difference, so right now we'd be first seeds.
Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do "Stonehenge" tomorrow?

Our D has been so solid this season - barring the Treviso blip -, I reckon the Saints would have a better chance of just scraping a win, than actually putting four tries on us.

Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
Looks good BH. I am a little worried about when salarycens bring back their big-money players into their squad. Would love to see exeter see them off in the quarters, as you have predicted, but, am not so sure.blockhead wrote:Blockheads Predicted QFinalists:

Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
I'm not sure current form Glasgow have it in them to beat Exeter. Even at home. But it's certainly not beyond the bounds.
If Ulster can win in the stoop this week I fancy them to get through instead of Glasgow.

Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
You might need to review your predictions when you view the team selection by Quins for the visit of Ulster on Friday night.
It seems that three games in and they may contrary to their press statement be concentrating on 5he Premiership.

Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
Ulster are Ulster though, they always struggle away from Kingspan. Here's hoping, get the anglo-irish 4 way contest off to a flyer. We lead 3-1 from last week remember.

Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
If Ulster CAN win though they have Bath in Ravers in rnd 6 to set up a qf
Re: Champions Cup 2020 - Standings\predictions
So reflection.
Leinster
Exeter
Toulouse
Racing
Clermont
Ulster
Saracens
Glasgow/Northampton
Glasgow to nudge it because of the points conceded by Northampton against Leinster.
Northampton's only hope will be Lyon's mind set when round 6 comes round.
Actually maybe Saints will beat Lyon and Bennetton.
So Leinster v Saracens QF - An action replay would be nice

With Ulster already on 17 points and Bath to visit Ravenhill on the last weekend, I suspect that they might top their Pool which could alter the rankings.Oldschool wrote:So reflection.

Wouldn't mind having Saracens at home in the Q/F, because we'll probably have to beat them at some stage and at home will be better than anywhere else, particularly immediately after their English players have just returned from the 6N.
