EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS CUP PREDICTIONS 22-1-16


RUGBY UNION TEAMS AND PREDICTION

POOL 1 SAT 1PM

TOLOUSE V SARACENS

 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a bad season for Toulouse and a good one for Saracens when it come3s to European Rugby we all know that. It is for that reason I cannot see anything but a comfortable win for Saracens but the question that will have to be asked can they get the bonus point. I think that they can and will.

ULSTER V OYONNAX

 
 
 
 
 
 
Everything lies on this match for Irish rugby as Ulster need to win with a bonus point to stand any chance of reaching the quarter final and Oyonnax have put up there spills this year but this is on Ulster as I think that they can but we still don’t know what that bonus point will mean as they are a few sides ahead of them in the competition. This could be the first quarter final without an Irish side

POOL 3 SAT 5.30PM

GLASGOW V RACING


 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Too stand any chance of qualifying no matter how slim they are Glasgow must beat Racing and I have not seen enough of them this year to say that is possible. I think that at the end of the season they need to go back and fix what went wrong this season as a lot has.

SCARLETS V NORTHAMPTON
 

 
 
 
 
Northampton needa bonus point against the Scarlet’s to seal a quarter final spot and there is nothing here to me that says they won’t as they are a much better side than Scarlet’s .   

POOL 5 3.15PM

BATH V TOULON

 
 
 
 
 
 
This is not the same Toulon that we have seen for the last few years but as this is an away tie it is not a sure thing that Toulon will win this by any means. I think that this will be a match that could go either way. But I personally would back Toulon but by no more than 5 points.

WASPS V LEINSTER
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
I think Leinster will put out a good team first to see where they stand and secondly to help Irish rugby out as an Irish team in the quarters is a good thing by Leinster. I think a drop at goal would be the difference but I still think this season Wasps have too much.

SUN 1 PM POOL 4

TREVISO V MUNSTER

 
 
 
This should be a bonus point away win for Munster under normal circumstances but this is not the Munster we know and I would not be too surprised if Treviso got somrthing out of this but the most I can see Treviso get is a losing bonus point and maybe Munster not get the try bonus point.

STADE FRANCAIS V LEISTER
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
I think Leister will be too strong for Stade as I think that they are on a hot streak and a win in France would be what everyone wants forget everything else. For that reason a Leister Bonus point win for me. This might push Munster up to second which might help rankings.

SUN 3.15 PM POOL 2

CLERMOUNT V BORDEUX

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a group that has proven hard to predict and it is very difficult to predict with any certainty how a French team will play but if Clermont play well I think they will win.

EXETER V OSPREYS

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ospreys know a win will put them in the quarters anything else then it is down to luck and I think that this match will be played like a war but I hope that the Ospreys are able to come out on top.
