EPCR SEMI'S

Appointments made:
Champions Cup
Leinster v Northampton - Raynal, Brousset, Ramos & Charabas
Toulouse v Harlequins [/I] - Brace, Busby, Cross & Hodges
Challenge Cup
[i]Sharks v Clermont - Pearce, Dickson, Carley & Foley
Gloucester v Benetton - Amashukeli, Adamson, Grove-White &
Whitehouse
Absolutely expected appointments for me and glad to see Nika
back with his deserved match.
For me, Raynal is a shoe in for a final if a French team not
involved. Plenty of potential options on the table for Tony to
look at!!

Only surprise is Piardi not included. This could mean being
saved for finals.
Otherwise, as predicted. Which other sport can put out the WC
final squad, with a new leader, on the 2nd level competition!!
As I have tickets to the finals I would like to see Gloucester v
Clermont-Ferrand in the Challenge Cup, only as the French will
bring more than the South Africans
For the Champions Cup Northampton vs Toulouse would be epic

Definitely the top 4 ranked NH refs on show for the semi's.
After Raynal retires, I think Piardi will get a bigger push by
The EPCR and think this year his involvement to any final would
be as an AR (possibly with Amashukeli).
Finals are looking like they will be a cracker!!

All depends who's in the final
If I was a betting man, I think it's really hard job for
Harlequins to beat Toulouse and just because they are on home
soil (but a lot harder to predict), I would just go with
Leinster and so Pearce would be my bet.
Anyone's pick for the Challenge Cup and if Sharks beat Clermont
then Raynal for sure. If the French side overcome the Sharks,
Brace would be my choice (just) over Amashukeli.
