Leinster, Sharks or Stormers, Welsh team, Weegies or Embra will top their pools.

Leaving four other births. If Ulster are 7th then there would be Munster, 2 bok teams ahead. Then only really Embra with a possibility of finishing ahead.

For sake of argument if it ends like below:

Leinster (Irish pool winner)
Munster (1st other)
Stormers (SA pool winner)
Sharks (2nd other)
Bulls (3rd other)
Embra (Italian/Scotch pool winner)
Ulster (4th other)
Weegie (Parker pen)

Disclaimer: I might be wrong.
If Weegies win the Grand Final we would drop to 8th mate

Disclaimer: I might be wrong.

To the URC organisers :-

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

My earlier remarks were not meant as negativity. They were a hope that a bit of steel would be introduced to the mental approach.........Fergie like!

How intriguing.

I fancy a gung ho Wasps to win at Embra but Glasgow may find Lyon to be in a generous mood given the situation in the Top 14.

Sarries have a tough game on paper at Glos but they (Glos) probably want out of the Parker Pen as much as Lyon do.

Neill was en route to Edinburgh last I heard.

I’d like to think he woke up this morning in a stranger’s bed in Leith with a smile on his face as wide as the Firth of Forth.

Emrba are 5 points behind Ulster. A BP win for Edinburgh with Ulster losing without a BP would see them level on points. Ulster have a better points difference by some 26 points. Ulster lose by 13 or more, Embra win by 14 or more, then it's switcheroo time in the table.

It remains unlikely.

I think games won trumps points difference this year Dave. Embra can't match our 11 wins.
