Ulster Leics will be very tight I think but have gone Ulster, and have shaded it to Castres in that match. Sadly have to disagree with Glos winning – just can’t see it happening at the moment. Exeter have shown the blueprint as to how to beat them.

Tom James is out for Exeter, Blues front row looks weak (despite having 2/3rds of the 09 Lions front row). I fancy it’ll be closer than 10, expect us to lose by less than 7.

I fancy Ulster to beat Leics by 10 as they’ll know the importance of avoiding a losing BP for Leics and I think they have the forwards to do it.

I’d go to the other way in the Gloucs match, Exeter show up Gloucs tight five weakness, I expect the French to do the same.

I fancy Saints to blow Castres away. Castres are such a hot and cold side in the HC – I reckon the lack of any solid comp for next year and their ability to go all the way in the Top 14 will shift their focus whereas Saints will be desperate to make a statement about where they are. Saints by 15.

Think Perpignan will take the honours at Kingsholm (unless Gloucester can find a huge improvement in the tight 5).

Sadly I think Castres may shade Saints, in the same fixture last year they wheeled out some cuboid props and took the Saints scrum apart. Hope I’m wrong.

Not sure Toulose will stick 45 points on Zebre, not because they aren’t capable of doing so, they always seem to save their most laboured performances for lower ranked opposition.
