HEC quarter finals

First topic message reminder :

I reckon will be;

1 Munster v 8 Ulster
2 Leinster v 7 Edinburgh
3 Saracens v 6 Toulouse
4 Cardiff v 5 Clermont

Hmmm so tempted to try and get over for the match now...

Can't wait to hear the recriminations from ulster fans regarding how the tickets are sold for thomond. By my reckoning we will get about 6000. That's not enough for 2 per season ticket holder.

As such it wont be 2 for a ST holder and as far as I am concerned that is as it should be. Every ST holder will be guaranteed a ticket if they want to go

Any SF home game cannot be played at the home ground of the club.

So regardless of whether it is Ulster or Munster it will be at ther Aviva
If Sarries win it will be at Wembley or Twickenham
Clermont I would guess would play at Touluse

I love it when predictions are proved completely wrong!

"Prediction for Edinburgh: A lack of depth will prove costly and they will not get beyond the pools. Don't be surprised if they finish bottom."

Well done, PlanetRugby. Morons.

Edinburgh have certainly confounded the critics. Can't moan about depth either. They lost two star players before the match today, and still coped.

Will give Toulouse a great game in Edinburgh.

To be fair it wasn't just planet rugby that made that prediction. A lot of posters here didn't think Edinburgh stood a chance. Well they proved everyone wrong. The took their chances when they came and turned out a TBP win.

All the way south on M1 to Dublin, around the M50, branch off to the N7/M7 all the way do Limerick, and have money to be scalped at the toll booths.

Let's say you were coming from Bushmills or Ballycastle, it's about 257 miles as the crow flies and about 6.5 hours of driving along less than wonderful roads - but it'd be different and you'd get to see a lot of the island if you're in no particular hurry.

The motorway option is longer in distance about 285 miles but it's basically, a26, M2, M1, M50, M7 and you're there. Lots of lovely motorways, grey trees, and unwashed concrete to keep you awake along the way.

Actually, should both Sarries and Leinster get through to the semi's - its a good draw for Ulster. The game will most likely be played at Twickenham or Wembley - either ways Sarries tend to get about 40k to their Wembley game. If they play Leinster in either stadium chance are Leinster supporters will fill close to 60% of either stadium. It'll wind up being as close to a home game for Leinster as much as Sarries, France will be a different proposition.
