european champions cup predictions 11-11-15

PREDICTIONS

FRIDAY

ULSTER V TOLOUSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that Toulouse are much too strong for Ulster especially with the poor form that Ulster have been in in recent week. I think that it will be an achievement if Ulster get a losing bonus point.

SATURDAY

EXETER V CLERMOUNT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that this game will be a lot closer than people think so far as to say I cannot see the match being won by any more than 7 points and this could be the win that starts Exeter as a European force but I can also understand French teams away from home . I think that it will go to Exeter purely due to home advantage

OSPREYS V BORDEUX

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that the teams with the majority of their club players coming back from the world cup will find this Champions cup season difficult and I think that Ospreys are the same. I think that is the thing that will swing it the way of Bordeaux

GLASGOW V SCARLETS

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Glasgow can start well this will be a match that I think they can win comfortably

RACING V NORTHAMPTON

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that this will be a very interesting tie between 2 very big clubs in Europe and I would not be surprised if it went one way then another but I think that Racing will be too strong and Northampton will find it difficult to compete at the end of the match

TREVISO V STADE FRANCAIS

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stade Farancais have to win this comfortably with a bonus point to be considered by anyone the team that they used to be about 10 or 15 years ago. I think that this will be a very big win for Stade Francais with a couple of hat tricks

MUNSTER V LEISTER

 

 

 

 

 

 

If this match was last year Munster would win it but it would be a battle and Munster are the Irish team that should do well in the European Cup this season as for past experience and league for. I do think this will be a battle but hope Munster win as an Irish or at least a pro 12 side needs to reach the quarters

SUNDAY

OYONNAX V SARACENS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This should be a very easy win for Saracens as Oyonnax are not the biggest club in European rugby

TOULON V LEINSTER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 2 best teams in Europe face of on Sunday at least based on the last few years but I do hope Leinster make this a match but |I do think Toulon will be too strong for them as they are one of few teams that could win the European cup and as Leinster lost to Wasps this could be a play off for them.

WASPS V BATH

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the way Wasps have played this year I can not see anything here but a bonus point win for Wasps
