Bath 21–22 Leinster
Leinster have better forwards and a better bench whereas Bath have better backs and home advantage. Give Leinster the edge because ‘forwards win games backs decide by how much’

Biarritz 14–19 Leicester
Tigers edge forwards, backs go to Leicester.

Ospreys 29-22 Stade
Ospreys win the forwards and also the backs

Bath 28 - 25 Leinster
Biarritz 20 - 23 Leicester
Highlanders 19 - 16 Saracens

I thought I had predicted, sorry.

Bath 20 - 23 Leinster

Bath sparkled in attack with running line JPR would be proud of, but Leinster's tenacity around the park and dominance of the set piece saw them grab the win.

Stade Francais 18 - 16 Ospreys

Stade pull out a monster win in front of their loyal fans. Nothing pretty, but Jonny kicked when it mattered to see them through the the end.

Scottish Highlanders 25 - 28 Saracens

The bulldozing front row and midfield hurt the Highlanders, although with the likes of Cooper and Beale they were always a threat.
