Ooh we’re top of Pool 4. That’s not bad going :)
Ooh we’re top of Pool 4. That’s not bad going :)
It certainly is not bad goin g - in fact is excellent going. There are majpr problms though and i relaes particularly to three teams - Toulouse, Bordeaux and the Stormes.
The next two rounds is in January where it would become clear as to which teams are the real contenders.
Round 3
Bordeaux vs Northampton
Harlequins vs Stormers
Round 4
Stormers vs Leicestrer
Northampton vs Zebre,
Both teams have difficult away games and easy homes games,
So lets see what happens next,
Ro the topp with t his one
Upda ted
To the top with thos one
Since the Stormers and Bulls did not play in Round 8 the Stormers onl had a lead of 4 points or less to be removed a number 1 team in the URC. There were only two teams that could overtake the Stormers if they lose against the Bulls today and the two and 3 position teams wn their matches.. The number 2 ranked eam is Munster and no 3 Cardiff, Cardiff lost thir match yesterday, - so the worse that can happen for the Stormers to lose tomorrow and Munster win thier mach against Ulster today,
So irrespective of whether the Stormers win or lose they wil;l sill top the log of the URC. If they win they will be widening the gap between them and the no 2 and 3 ranked teams.
