# Due to schedule changes the number of matches played is 8 - the rest of the teams played 9 matches,

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.
