ERC Semi Final 2013 Live Draw

[monkee]

That semi draw is a massive silver lining after the disappointment of not securing a home quarter & I will happily take the situation we find ourselves in. Just need to get the big boys back & raring to go by April. The game time lost by Ferris, Muller, Bowe, Williams & Payne may well also be to our advantage in the long run. Now give Afoa, Court (is he in the Ireland squad?) & Pienaar a few weeks holiday.

Yep Court back in.

Yep Court back in.

Certainly good value for it.

Far better than a home then away to Clermont

The odds are interesting.

We're now 4th favourites @ 7/1 just a fraction behind Sarries at 13/2.

Following the s/f draw Quins have drifted out to 9/1.

Munster at 28/1 Shan!

I'm surprised people are putting us below Sarries. I feel we've offered more than them so far this season.

paddy power have has 3rd favourites at 11/2

If we get past them our odds will fall dramatically.

Best of luck in the rest of the HC boys. WIll be cheering you on the whole way! Will head over to Leinster v Wasps in the amlin in the quarters and hop over to vicarage road to support you guys. Then home semis hopefully for the two of us, probabally the friday night in the RDS and then cheering you lot on again in lansdowne road (hopefully)! Then a Leinster v Tolouse final on the friday and an Ulster v Clermont final on the saturday (ok now im getting way ahead of myself here!).

Anyway heres hoping for Leinster, Ulster and Harlequins wins in the quarter!

I'm not, home advantage is big in the Heineken Cup, I still expect us to win through though.

Sarries are at home for a start which is an advantage. I suspect our performances in Rounds 4,5 and 6 have infleunced this as well, as I don't really think we offered very much in any of them.

Bookies don't have much in it though which is where I see it, assuming we get most of our players back and fit.

[Joe Schmo]

The semi final draw has cheered me up, but I think I'll not get ahead of myself and not think any further than the away quarter final. If everyone's back fit and they bring their A game we'll be fine. But I'm not thinking any further than that April weekend.

How long should we give this thread before it should be (hopefully temporarily) sent into hibernation?
