I feel that if ulster are to get out of this group this is a match they have to win and I think the match will be close I would say Ulster by less than 7

Saturday

 Tolouse v Oyannax 3.15 

I think that Tolouse will get the bonus point in this match as they are much the better side but you don’t know with French sides

Exeter v Bordeux 7.45
 

I feel that Bordeux will have too much for Exeter as this season is a learning experience for Exeter and this should be seen as a year ion year for this.

Glasgow v Northampton 5.15

If Glasgow are to make it into quarter finals in the next few years these are the types of matches that they must win. Northampton do well in England but not that well I see this as a win for Glasgow but by less than 7.

Scarlets v Racing 5.30

 

This is the type of match that Racing should win and win well away from home but there is something strange that happens when French teams play away. If Racing are spending their money well this should be an easy win.

Treviso v Leicester 1pm

 

Leicester must win this match with a bonus point to stand any chance in their pool as simple as that.

Bath v Leinster 3.15
 

I was disappointed in Leinster last week and I think that what would have been an easy win last season might be a lot harder this season. I think that Leinster will win but by less than 7 points

Sunday

Clermount v Ospreys  1
 

Ospreys are traditionally the welsh side that you would think would think could get a win from a match like this. I think that this match will go to Clermount but I do not think that Clermount will be able to take control of this match

Wasps v Tolon 5.15

This is the match where Wasps stand up and show that they are one of the best in Europe and with that win over Leinster last week you would think they would have no fear. I see this as a wasps win but by less than 3
