OK folks,
Who will make it and what will they be?
Pool 1:
I reckon Saracens will have enough to beat Racing away, especially as their "home" game was in Belgium and will wallop Edinburgh at home. Whilst Munster will do the same making the top two Saracens on 23 and Munster on 20
Pool 2:
Ospreys to beat Leicester at home, whilst Toulouse thrash Treviso, whilst Leicester then edge Toulouse at home, but Toulouse get the losign bonus point and win the group - top two Toulouse 19, Leicester 19
Pool 3:
Only Quins to stand a chance finishing on 25 after losing away at Biarritz in the last game
Pool 4:
Ulster to wallop Glasgow at home and get a losing bonus point awat at Castres, Northampton to edge Castres at home and beat Glasgow away. Giving: Ulster 21, Northampton 18
Pool 5:
Clermont to win the last two and finish on 27, Leinster to win the next two with a bonus point at home to the Scarlets and finish on 19
Pool 6:
Toulon to crush Cardiff, but be edged out at Montpellier - 24 pts for Toulon, 21 for Montpellier
All of which would mean:
Clermont Vs Munster
Harlequins Vs Montpellier
Toulon Vs Toulouse
Saracens Vs Ulster
(Subject to a) dodgy predictions, b) dodgy maths, c) acts of god d) acts of BOD)

Awwwwwwwwwww this is heartbreaking! We (leinster) still have a chance!
I know I know. Its a slim one and i cant see us getting 5 points in exeter, hell that will be a close game by the looks of things never mind scoring 4 trys
We will have are frontline players back from injury. BOD, SOB, Luck Fitz, Rob Kearney.
Leinster have been one of the best packs in the competition so far, but we cant score trys. When the big fellas come back, try scoring will be top of the agenda!
And cant you just picture the disgusted faces of the Clermont boys if Leinster sneak through as 8th seed and then they have to face off again! Seriously. I would lose a limb to see that happen!

Your time has been and if not yet gone, is well on its way. Sorry, but things move on.

Don't be daft man. Bad year plain and simple. Just as in 2010 when we went for an early shower. You cant win it all, all the time. I'm not overly worried. We have been decimated this year with injuries and not once fielded a team even up to 70% of normal strength. Sometimes that happens you got to roll with it.
But our time is certainly not gone. Just a difficult season as happens to many clubs and the only team who could beat our 3rd string side was the very best in Europe Clermont.
Some of the front liners will be back for the final 2 rounds and although its against the odd's to garner 10 points from 2 games it is possible and more so this is Leinster. If they have their strike force back at full tilt not one team in Europe can hold them out.
But i have accepted that we won't be doing much this year so its all good. Just as it was when we lost out in 2010 and then came back to win twice on the trot. Dim people were saying Leinster's time was done then also.
