European champions cup 20-10-14

POOL 1

SARACENS 30-23 CLEMRMOUNT

SARACENS CAN LEARN

Zac Gilford scores a try from a good running move

What a quality pass from Webber to Strettle who scores a quality try

Strettle then was able to take on the Cemrmount defence to score a try in the corner

A quality kick and knock on lead to an Ashdon try

Saracens were definitely a lot better than anyone thinks and may be able to reach a quarter final 

SALE 26-27 MUNSTER

MUNSTER GET ONLY AWAY WIN

Kilkoyne scored a try from a rolling maul

Ciprani scored an early penalty for Sale

Murray got a try from a rolling maul also

Lund scored from a quality run to score a Sale try

A fine passing move set up Leota to made this match very interesting

Tommy O Donnell was very lucky not to concede a penalty try

Danny Ciprani kicked 16 points to give sale real hope

Everything went down to an Ian Keatley drop at goal which he scored from to give Munster the win

 This was a vital away win for Munster and it could make a huge difference in qualifying

POOL 2

LEINSTER25-20 WASPS

LEINSTER WIN TIGHT MATCH

Hadalack ran near the entire pitch to score a Wasp’s try from a Leinster bad pass on the Wasps line try for Leuia

Heslip made a run and makes the kick to Fanning in the corner

Christopher Wade made a quality run down the Leinster wing to score

Dara fanning scored again from momentum ball out and pass from Heslep Ryan put the ball down for a brilliant Leinster move

.Leinster showed why they are still one of the best in Europe but they must improve

QUINS 25-9 CASTRE

QUINS SHOW TOP CLASS

Quins scored the only try in this match from a long kick and catch from Danny Care who was the hero of the day as he kicked 7 shots 6 penalties and one conversion. The try was a kick from Evens that care was able to run onto

Was this a good Quins or a bad Castre as the French teams do not know how to travel well 

POOL 3

LEICESTER 25-18 ULSTER

WILL BONUS POINT HELP

Ulster scored an early penalty from Paddy Jackson which became very important at the end of the game as it was the difference between them getting a bonus point

Owen Williams scored the first of Leiicester tries from some quality movement

After that Leicester took more control of this match as Youngs made a kick which Kitcner was able to put down.

Freddie Burns try would be the difference in this match

Bowe and Page made a 1,2 which gave Ulster some hope in this match as Bowe was able to put it down

Cave should have scored from the scrum but Van der Mere jumped over the people to run it home

. Ulster will now have to beat Toloun but this bonus point could be vital  

TOLON 28-18 SCARLET'S

TOLON SHOW FRENCH CLASS 

Giteau seemed to create a try from nothing to give Tolon a start

Scott Williams passes to Barclay to score for the Scarlet’s

Youngs intercepts a ball and passes it to Kitcher to score

Tolon got a quality try from a kick and pass move which was caught by Memoz who scored

Steffon Armitage scored a quality fry running into the corner

Rhys Pristland scored a try as he ran half the pitch to score a try

 The surprise here was that Tolon did not get the bonus point. Are they who we think they are?

POOL 4

GLASGOW STILL IMPROVING

Glasgow 37-10 Bath. Glasgow have to reach the quarters this year but is that possible  

SOME FRENCH CLASS

Tolouse 30-23 Monellie. I am not too sure what this says about anything

POOL 5
