Mathematically only need 3 points to secure an away QF. Win in Clermont gives us a real shot at home QF v R92 probably (they still have to travel to Saracens in R6).

As others say send the 2s to D4 and go strong v Connacht and Munster.

If they won their group (unlikely) they'd be 5th seeds. If Ulster won theirs they would probably be 4th seeds. I think that's the only scenario?

Saracens at best will be 7th seed, so Ulster would have to be 2nd seed. Highly unlikely.

Remove Billy Vunipola from Saracens and their win record plummets alarmingly

Our annual pasting at the RDS.

It is a great pity that this fixture always seems to fall when we've to send a half baked team. Can't remember the last time we sent a strong team to Dublin? Was it 2013 when we beat them?

Tired of losing to the mexicans.

Quarter-final last March? Before that the league semi-final in 2016?
