Leinster will have these lads for breakfast, they are different class at the moment.
|

By:
Clermont haven't lost at home for 40 matches I think.
|

By:
I heard that off someone in the Leinster camp last night, icbd. Couldn't understand why they don't use St Etienne.

Stade Chaban Delmas, Bordeaux

Leinster are without doubt an excellent side, but they were up against trees yesterday. 3 players in that Cardiff pack that are bad at Pro12 level and 2 ancients in the back row.
Clermont just dont give an inch and some of their performances at home in recent years have been mesmeric. Hell of a clash. |

By:
Poor, poor pwerformance from Sarries. At home and being bossed like they area colts team against the senior side.
All lookign shell shcoked and this was over at half time. I feel like I haven't even had a run for my money. Utter garbage. Changes should have been made methinks. |
|
By:
Change who though? Sarries cant afford back-up like these French teams can. Saull, Burger and Brown all injured in the back-row and that is showing up badly here. Fraser and Melck are out of their depth.
|
|
By:
Yeah, dunno why they will play in Bordeaux rather than St Etienne. Stadiums are the same size and Bordeaux is about twice as far from Clermont.
|
|
By:
Fair comment. The Freench side are superior all over the place so I accept your ppint gracefully.
|

By:
Leinster having these for breakfast in the semi is the stuff of fantasy that even ICBD would be too embarrassed to state.

Anyway, few will agree but I make the French favs for the cup now.
|
|
By:
I tried to pull a fast one and have flights booked to St Etienne for the weekend. Not sure I'll bother now, Bordeaux is a kip
 |
|
By:
I agree, Vis. Going to have to take some cover on Leinster at bad prices though as I have a great looking book without them.
|
|
By:
An away SF vs Clermont will certainly focus the mind, Vis.
|
|
By:
I am v similar dunc. V nice on Ulster, OK on Clermont, not so hot on Leinster and Ed don't worry me at this stage.
|
|
By:
The final will be a bit of a damp squib after that, me thinks.
|
|
By:
Final a mere coronation.

Too be fair, Saracens have been woeful. All 4 English clubs out. Its like the Champions League, carnage.

I've turned around a poor weekend from yesterday morning. Have had Clermont onside throughout and topped up on the 7s this week along with the cap today. And with the possibility of a home semi, I took the route of 20s Ulster outright this week as opposed to the match odds v Munster.

Clermont v Leinster in France is a mouth watering clash,think Clermont will beat them

ASM 11/8
Leinster 15/8 Ulster 4/1 Edinburgh 25/1 |

By:
This is what Leinster are going to have to deal with. No easy tries against Clermont. Discipline means everything in that game I expect.
|
|
By:
I think Ballaman mentioned this in the Munster game with Best - Bardy rips off Borthwicks head gear and throws it in his face. Rolland watches and does nothing.
|
|
By:
Recommendation, RM?
|
|
By:
That's what you want Dunc but it's not what you are going to get
|
|
By:
Have the actual dates been set for the Semis? I know it's the weekend of 28/29 April, but do we know which game is on which day yet?
|
|
By:
Ulster match is Saturday, Clermont play on Sunday.
|
|
By:
Cheers. As a neutral, does anyone know how easy it might be to get a ticket? And how much they'd go for? I'm in the area that weekend and have Clermont for a few quid!
|
|
By:
Very tough for either game I would have thought, especially the one in France.
