Not sure about that one - we will have to see what happens in he Quarters, There was a hell of a lot of weird resulkts in this tournament this year,
This is wrong Mike.
Lion's finished 7th, not 8th.
Quarterfinal 1 - Glasgow vs Connacht
Quarterfinal 2 - Leinster vs Lions
Quarterfinal 3 - Stormers vs Cardiff
Quarterfinal 4 - Bulls vs Munster
Winner of QF1 plays winner of QF4
Winner of QF2 plays winner of QF3
Stav's schedule is correct, ou Maaik's is wrong.
Bob, what do you mean "both our teams"? We have three teams in the knockouts.
Blob is correct, if all goes according to form, the Lions will be eliminated in the quarters and both our teams which should win by ranking, would then find themselves away in the semis.
I believe that’s what he meant.
Thanks for the correction about the Lions. Both have 54 points and I did not check the point difference between Connacht and the Lions - should have,
When you think how many matches each team plays and you end up this close.
Two more 5 point wins and the Sharks would be way up the board.
I am really liking the URC this year. It is incredibly frustrating as I don't know which Munster team will turn up. It is compelling watching the results and the table especially for the last three rounds. The weird, inconsistent results. Also the quality of the rugby is really improving.
Historically, the URC (including the previous versions) was always just keeping us busy for the Champions Cup. The French and English really buggered up the Champions cup when it was reorganised a few years ago. The group stages are a joke and people aren't as engaged now. They need to go back to the old format to bring it back to life.
