Not sure I agree with that (yr post i.e.) either. Comparing a club with an international side is a bit of a leap of faith for a start & besides atm is inaccurate. NZ have been No. 1 for c. the past decade. Leinster haven’t. Also, in knock out comps all the teams start from scratch. Past cup records make count for something, but only if a team keeps winning & not many have for long. So, the best team in this yr’s tournament is yet to be realised…atm.

Not sure I agree with that; the ABs are pretty universally acclaimed as the best side in the world atm, and they’ve earned that through consistently winning, and usually winning well. Leinster at present are no different. Yes there is quicker turnover for club sides, as the best side in the European competition often don’t stay unbeaten, or reclaim the crown, even within a year. But even so, the crown is in place until someone knocks it off imo, even if the cup is there for everyone to have a stab at it. Definitely plenty of sides capable of doing so, but if Leinster are able to crush Wasps by 50pts, even with a few notable absentees, then they’re certainly maintaining their right to that crown, and the bragging rights.
Said as a guy supporting a team hoping to knock the crown off!

IYO! The best team is likely to be the one that wins the comp… and Leinster ain’t quite done that yet, BeJesus!

Home wins all the way bar Saracens with some dissent over Ulster-Tigers.
Tigers are unlikely to win in Belfast where home advantage is going to be a vital factor. Plus, Tigers away form in Europe is atrocious.
Saracens to win in Glasgow? yes I think so. Difficult to back against them them the way they re playing.
Tonights game is likely to go only one way. Pity Wasps are going into this one short of so many key players, though even at full strength they would struggle to contain the best side in the competition.
