I really don't think Castres care about the European Cup, so I
doubt they will send their best team. That doesn't mean it will
be easy for us, though, especially if we think it's going to be
a doddle and they're still in with a shout going into the second
half.

I've not really followed the Top 14, but looking at the table
and allowing for the different number of games played they look
like they are mid-table-ish with a chance of making the
playoffs. In that situation, putting out one good game on the
road to stay alive in a second competition and secure at least
one more home game would be a sensible move.
That said, the decisive factor may be French COVID regulations.
Given how restricted the crowds were at the weekend, it might
actually be cost them money to play an extra game, in which case
[[gallic shrug]].

Do the dates of the second leg stack up? This would be Easter
weekend, surely no games on Easter Sunday?

Glasgow

if they put pressure on Quins they know we have looked shaky at
times, especially in the cold and wet.

Harlequins-last-minute-comeback script. Of course, the team will
do nothing of the sort and we will probably end up with victory
coming from an improbable bit of magic at the death, because
that's how we roll.

Call my prediction line for advice on life, love, fantasy league
selection, what refereeing errors we will complain about next
week, and lottery numbers.

Barring a massive upset from Ospreys or Montpellier tomorrow,
that's Clermont for us in the round of 16.

This will come back and haunt me.
However, here I go...I don't think this Clearmont team are a
patch on previous great team's. JJ Hanrahan is a poor no 10 and
k think we would have Esterhuzin running down his channel all
day long.
If we are to do well in the tournament, we will need to beat the
best teams. We can do it. Come on you Quins.

So looks like our potential route to the final could be looking
a little bit French….
R16: Clermont or Montpellier
QFs (which will be at the stoop if we make it): La Rochelle or
Bordeaux
SFs: Racing or Cardiff/Wasps or Bristol/Munster or Exeter
