Qualifiers looking to be from the following.

Castre
Worcester
Dragons
Toulon (Q)
Scarlets
Bordeaux (Q)
Edinburgh
Bristol (Q)
Leicester(Q)
Pau

The Castre/Worcester/Dragons group is tight and looks like it may produce one of the best runners up potentially Dragons.

Scarlets and Pau likely to be fighting over the last space

Bordeaux aside, who I assume we can’t get (EDIT: we can actually get them again), I don’t think we should fear any of these teams. Agree that a trip to Leicester would be fun.

We did thanks. There were a lot there and UBB were good value.

The line out was poor, but a lot was due to UBB reading it well and attacking it hard. We seemed to panic a bit.

UBB were better at converting chances better, and seemed more tactically flexible. We kept going with tactics that were just not working.


I think we definitely missed Toolis and Gilchrist in the line out. I'm not convinced by Willemse's throwing, but Cherry didn't seem much better.

Radradra is a top class player, and Jalibert had a good, creative game. To me, they were the big difference in attacking play between the two teams.
