Harlequins v Ulster in Round of 16. Tough enough draw, Quins 3rd in Premiership.

[Dave]

Probably the most difficult draw but certainly the tie of the round. I hope that we have all our homegrown backs, Leinster castoffs, NIQs and one Ireland player available.

[Neill_M]

If Ulster get through to QF, will travel to Saints/Dragons.

[Dave]

Feck we might not compete against the dragons with out our Leinster 4ths.

[jean valjean]

Tough couple of games alright but will be a good watch. Quins are a different side this year but it will be another good barometer of where we are at.

Brett Herron scored on their last outing.

Just can’t catch a break can we. Probably the most difficult route to a final but it still opens a possible Ulster v London Irish final route.

Our own fault as usual! Just stop Gloucester scoring their last try and we would have replaced Exeter in the Champions Cup draw!
Nice home tie against Lyon in last 16 followed by a tasty home quarter against winner of Leinster/Toulon!!

Jean's right, this should show us where we are in the pecking order. If we get the rub of the green we can win but, if our heads go down, we'll just fall into mindlessly running in ones into a defensive wall until we get turned over. So long as we give it a real thrash for 80 minutes, I'll be happy.

Which in my mind is a worse scenario as we have no hope in the Heiny and face another quarter final exit with another drubbing by a fully stacked Mexican XV.

We have a chance, if now a little tougher than one had hoped, of actually winning something to break the drought and losing mentality.

Maybe it would make the shirt makers put a tiddly little star next to a heiny star on the European shirts.
