Semi finals DRAW. They make this early so the clubs can find a neutral stadium to suit the home drawn team. As they get to choose the stadium but can't use their own.
Not that it matters to Touluse and Bairiitz since they both virtually have 2nd stadiums.
Toulouse / Stade Francais v Leinster/ Clermont
Biarritz / Ospreys V Munster:/ Northampton
Two away games in FRANCE at least it get them ready for the final. ;)
Leinster have no fear of French teams and Toulouse are not nearly as good as previous seasons.
Look a decent enough 5/1 shot to me. Wont start as much of a dog to anyone

A lot will depend on how players are after the 6N and form at the time,teams playing well now may not be in the same form in 3 months time or vice versa.If France beat Ireland in Paris and go on to win the 6N,well then its inevitable the winner will be French.Speaking of Leinster they really have an ace in the pack in Rob Kearney which gives them a chance but then again how many times has the HC being won back to back.

Ospreys the value for me. away to Biarritz is definitely winnable, then they would fancy a crack at either Munster or Northampton in Cardiif, 14 to 1 good value

you might be underestimating biarritz at home ... 2 defeats in 8 years(10-6 to Cardiff last season and 7-6 to Northampton in a i/4 final a few years back
Don't fancy the hairsprays to go there and win
