Would you prefer Toulouse or Exeter?
Makes no difference. We'll be away to Exeter in the semi >EW

Toulouse win with try bonus and by 26 points or more - Exeter away
Any other Toulouse win - Toulouse away
Toulouse draw with try bonus - Toulouse away
Toulouse lose or draw with no try bonus - Clermont away
Thank for that. It made the last few minutes of the Toulouse game interesting. Poor from a Toulouse perspective that they had a man up, a 5 metre scrum and put in but couldn't organise to score.

I'm in Andorra the weekend of the game haha. Pity I'm the only Ulster fan in the group.

Pleasure :thumleft: Just glad I appear to be correct.

Agree poor from Toulouse, though will they feel aggrieved they didn't get a penalty try?

So in terms fo the draw :-

Positives :- Toulouse is the only one of the big french teams where ulster have actually won away before. Also, all expection will be in them.

Negatives :- They are much better this season than the past few years. Their scrum looks powerful which could spell big trouble, particularly if Jack and Marty are not fit.

Us away to Toulouse and Mexicans at home to Sorries. It's fifteen against fifteen, so we have a chance.

Please, please, please let the Mexicans hammer that crew out of sight. There's something not right about letting them keep their current playing staff, unless they've reduced their wages to within legal limits. Anyone know if they have? Also interesting to note that they have the lowest (I think) average attendance in the premiership.

They haven’t. Which is why they were given the option of being relegated or opening their books.

The only way they could have complied was if the players waived their contractual entitlements. But they don’t love the club that much unsurprisingly.

They've been cooking their books for the best part of a decade. I hope they never come back up.
