Heineken Cup Round 6 - The Other Games

[big mervyn]

As long as Sarries don't get 4 trys your conscience is clear

Think Toulouse may let you down though.

Whose shoes would you rather be in right now:

Ulster or Saracens?
Leinster or Munster?

[Rooster]

Sarries will have already nominated their ground as I remember with all the fuss where Saints would play us for their home quarter I heard on Monday morning on the way home from the Pool 6 match the time and place of the quarter final, think it was officially announced on Wednesday though.
What chance a double header with Quins at Twickers ? or would Sky and ERC permit that ?

Hard to see why not Rooster. Won't affect TV coverage as they would have been planning a double header in any case. Everybody's a winner.

Ulster and Leinster back at Twickers and 2 for the price of one. What's the ticket allocation for the s/f - half each (or a quarter in your scenario)?

[big mervyn]

Talking nonsense there. 2 q/fs - home side gets 3/4 right? If 2 quarters were held at Twickers the away teams would presumably get 10k each - more than enough I'd have thought.

But imagine this:

Quins and Sarries at home in Twickers

Will Sarries fans cheers for Quins or Leinster/Munster? Will Quins cheer for Sarries?

Leinster/Munster with Ulster away at Twickers. Will our fans cheers for each other?

Could come to a point where Sarries are at home, yet there are 50,000 people SUFTUMing

[big mervyn]

I would hope and expect that the Irish would be supporting each other.

Not so sure about Sarries/Quins though - could well turn into an away fixture for both of them

BBC weather says -2C and light snow for Watford.

4C and light rain for Dublin.

Did Llimerick move? Or is it negligible to the BBC?

Good weather for us in Watford

Which game to watch that is the question?????

sarries to see if Ulster get a homer but likely to be a poor game

Or Munster who need a TBP to pip the ladyboys....

think I'll watch the munster game and have score updates from sarries.....

[big mervyn]

The simultaneous games rarely have any bearing on each other in this competition.

Am getting silly as ever - does an Edinburgh + Munster win put both Irish sides through?

[Big-al]

I'm going to watch Sarries.

Munster vs Racing should be a walk in the park with the team the French have sent over. BTW, if Sarries get 4 trys in that weather then fair play to them. They will have deserved it. A pitch covered in snow and what looks like snow or rain falling.


Ayepod - Yes, that would happen. Doubt Edinburgh can win.

You never know! Shaky start from Sarries and Edinburgh look like they are interested.
