Heineken Cup Round 6 - The Other Games

[Shan]

The slagging of Leo Cullen on here is quite unfair.
He had a class game tonight.
Immense workrate and leadership and a try making pass.
Not bad for a 35 year old.

I think Cullen gets a slagging because a lot of people see him as a dirty player. In this regard he probably doesn't do himself any favours with his bag-snatching antics and his fondness for sneaky wee digs and friendly touching.

However he certainly is a player who most folk would like on their club team. He has proved himself to have a great impact at that level and certainly was an important part of Leinster's success.

I presume if Sarries get a home QF it'll be at Vicarage Road? They couldn't fill Wembley.

Fair play to Leinster, did all they could do. Munster will do the job tomorrow though, Racing's side is a 2nd string.

I think it has to be a 20k capacity ground minimum Ruckover. To the best of my knowledge Vicarage Road holds about 17,500.

Is it not 15K for a q/f?

Another cracking day the marra.

Can Munster get 4 trys? Hope so but I have my doubts.
Can Embra prevent Sarries getting a TBP. Believe!!!

Followed by the little matter of Tiggers v Toulouse.

If Carlsberg were doing it, Embra would beat Sarries leaving Munster as group winners and Leinster as 8th seeds. Anybody like to calcualate the odds?

[Redhandoff]

Quarter final is 15000 minimum, semi final minimum 20000 I think

[Thelaw]

My head hurts trying to do the maths!!! Dammit Jim I'm an Ulster fan not a scientist!

Hope you are right mate. And if you are watching you will be able to enjoy a Munster game without your best pal on the field....although I'm sure the cameras will give a close up of him at some point.

You’re not wrong there pal I shall be supporting Turnipstan tomorrow, safe in the knowledge that my day will not be spoiled by an on field appearance by he who shall not be named as I’m in a happy place tonight.

You could very well be right about that 15k Mervyn. I have to admit I am not an expert on these matters....or on any matter I suppose.

I think Saracens will win but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do not get the 4 tries.

Munster I am just hoping.

Leicester v Toulouse will be some match to watch I would say, especially if Toulouse take the lead in the first half.

I like your Carlsberg one but then again I'd ask myself if Munster would prefer to play Quins or Toulon? Answer: Probably neither.

We could be off to MK again, didnt Saracens and their gawd awful DJ play there once this season? Knowing this lot they will move it to Siberia

It has to be in the country in which they are based as far as I know in the rules, otherwise Ulster and the ERC would have to agree, perhaps we should agree they move it somewhere nice and warm providing they pay the air fares and accomodation for lets say 15k Ulster supporters, that will make them think

[ruckover]

It's 15k for a HC QF and 18k for a Rabo Final.

Aye. It'd be a bit short sighted building an 18k stadium if we still couldn't host any ko games

[big mervyn]

Embra are 22/1 the marra. That's truly shocking for a team that reached the s/f last year.

Will Saracens not be in their new home by the QF stages "Allianz Park " Mill Hill or Barnet Copthall Stadium as was. The capacity I think is 10,000 and it is to have an artificial pitch. So if they get a home QF it lookslike it will go elsewhere.

[Russ]

For personal reasons I need a Toulouse and Saracens victory.

How does me winning money affect the Ulster QF scenario?
