Predictions

So the last of the round robin games are with us and it will be a defining weekend for some big names in the game. Leicester are already out of contention so expect Leinster to pull out all the stops. The fixture of the weekend however must be Munster London Wasps. We also wait to see which side Clermont will bring. Whatever we expect several pools to go down to the last minutes of time before we get a conclusion nail biting for the supporters but magic for the uncommitted rugby fans. So here goes these are our predictions:

Saracens
Biarritz
Perpignan
London Irish
Leinster
Toulouse
ASM Clermont Auvergne
London Wasps
Gloucester
Ospreys
Cardiff
Stade Français
