Pool 3 Biarritz Harlequins Connacht Zebra
Pool 4 Northampton Ulster Glasgow Castres
Pool 5 Leinster Clermont Scarlets Exeter
Pool 6 Cardiff Toulon Sale Montpellier

No best runners up from this group, to many good sides, but I think the Ospreys will win this one, they have the best pack in the group and the young backs have got one season under their belts and will now know what it is all about. The Ospreys should fear no one in this group as this will be more or less the same team that tooled Munster at the Liberty and beat Leinster at the Show grounds, the Ospreys should win all their home games and take Treviso away from home, and I am certain they can get something away to either Leicester or Toulouse with the set of forwards they have at their disposal.

Tolouse to win this for me. I think Tolouse may nick a win at the Liberty. I also think the Italians may be more ready to roll over for them.

I think there could be a best runner up from this group. Ospreys will be a weaker side next season and there is no way that Leicester can have such a bad injury run again. I can see Tigers & Toulouse getting 5 wins a piece here.

+1

I'll have some of what Dowlais is on.

Gone for the Ospreys to win this, look forward to the games against Tigers, though Toulouse will no doubt have a lot of input as well.

We will soon see.

You can't select more than one

I went with toulouse

in the heads to heads i went with

Toulouse v Tigers was 5v4

Toulouse v Os was 6v4

Toulouse v Treviso 9v1

Tigers v Os 6v5

Tigers v Treviso 9v1

Os vTreviso 5v4

Toulouse =20
Tigers = 19
Os = 14
Treviso = 6

Reasons I think Toulose are most likely to get home BP and deny away LP while picking up their own LP

Treviso should have beaten Os so will hold no fear and they almost beat Tigers last time out it a 10 try match so will wold no fears. I think they will be afraid of Toulouse

no sure that Os will get all the LBP and TBP that they need
