Irish and Saracens into Semis and we called it

Well another fantastic weekend of rugby sees two English clubs into the Heineken Cup semis both with home draws.

Irish started the weekend with a pulsating and hard fought win over Perpignan, just as predicted by us. London Irish 20 Perpignan 9
We then moved on to Gloucester and the disappointing misses with the Paterson boot which were punished by Munster so another correct result. Gloucester 3 Munster 16.

Sunday and Saracens faced the Ospreys who were heavy favourites. On the day the Welsh side could not live with the power of Saracens who were worthy winners Saracens 19 Ospreys 10. Yes we called that one as well.

Finally to Toulouse and the last hurrah for the Welsh regions as Cardiff where blown away by the powerful Toulouse outfit. Toulouse 41 Cardiff 17 and yes we called that result as well.

We are going against the views of most pundits and although it will be a major challenge we predict the home sides will prevail so:

London Irish
Saracens
