Toulouse have named a match day 23, so talk of forfeiting was only rumours (at this point in time anyway).

Interesting to see there is a Brennan on the bench for them. How apt would it be if we managed to get them again and he was warming up in front of ulster fans?? Could lightning strike twice?

Reports of a big covid outbreak in toulouse. What would a 28-0 defeat for them mean for the seedings?

I'm not very good at these but as far as I can see, Toulouse would probably still hold 7th place because Castres aren't likely to beat Quins (H), never mind beat them with a BP which they would need, and Wasps are unlikely to beat Munster (H) [although there's at least a chance of that].

If Toulouse get a 28-0 forfeit and Wasps did beat Munster, I think we would play Connacht in the last 16 (assuming we come 2nd as is widely expected).

This stuff makes my head hurt though.

I wouldn't be so sure that Quins will win tomorrow night. Castres have a strong side out while Quins have rotated because they are already through.

Castres now at 11-2 with Paddy Power.

It was probably my tenner at 17-2 that caused that!

Just read an article in the Times previewing theHieniken Cu p matches for this weekend. Obviously the so called Journalist hasn’t
Seen any of Ulster’s games nor done any research as he majors on the absence 5his weekend of Stockdale and Addison. He very obviously lives on a diet of the Gallagher Premiership.

Any chance you coud paste it up here?

Toulouse have had to forfeit and Cardiff awarded 28-0 win, means a high probability of Toulouse Ulster in Round of 16 if Ulster win tomorrow.

Home and away which is a disaster!

I blame the ulster referee for this mess.

Feck em. Without kolbe they are only half a team. Sure wasps beat them

[HammerTime]

Absolute disaster. They’ll throw everything at this, pretty much the worst possible draw. Mr negative but we’ve pretty much no hope. Sneaky French bastids (all of them) have played the system perfectly. Scraping through the group stages and then throw every last resource at the last 16.

[justinr73]

They’ve lost quite a few away from home recently but never by more than 10.

Dupont has missed a couple of games of course.

French media reporting Dupont has the "situation" currently.

[big mervyn]

Those 28-0 "wins" could make the 2 legged games even more of a farce.

[jean valjean]

Could just go for a single leg last 16 yet.

It seems insane to maintain the format when so many games have been voided.

What is going to be the approach when one team gets a 28-0 by in the away first leg then batters the team at hone in the second? It is utter balls.
