Other Champions / Challenge Cup

[Sir Ivor]

Leinster is one cynical shower - professional fouls now the rule.

[Neill_M]

Gloucester v Ospreys the first confirmed QF in Challenge Cup.

Benetton will host Pau/Connacht.

Edinburgh will travel to Durban/host Zebre.

Clermont will host Ulster/Montpellier.

Leinster La Rochelle, will Leinster get that monkey of their back or will ROG still live rent free in their heads.....

Yes Leinster beat them in the pool stage, but knockout game is a different kettle of fish.

Leicester showed tonight that leinster can be got at. I expect LRog to have the pack to deal with them, but it will be close.

2 seasons ago ulster was going toe to toe with Toulouse. Imagine the damage some of these sides could inflict on the current ulster team.

The slightly strange thing is, of course, that bar Duane, it’s basically the same Ulster team.

True but he's been replaced with Matty

Almost every ulster player has regressed since then!

Pretty poor lineup

[CIMANFOREVER]

Depending location of Semis, Tyre fitters or Sharks to win.

Sharks have to play any "home" Semi Final in Europe.

[jean valjean]

Takn from the tournament website...

The Round of 16 threw up some thrilling battles, but only eight have been able to make it to the quarter-final stage, with all matches set to take place next weekend.
The highest ranked club in each match will have home venue advantage in the quarter-final and semi-final stage.


Seems to suggest sharks will be at home should they win the quarter, especially since the champions Cup semi locations were announced today - leinster choosing croke park.
