Some huge mismatches this weekend. Either through team selection or having a very strong squad.
In Pool 1, two sides had 5 pointers - Leinster away to Montpellier, who we play on Friday night at The Ricoh and ourselves. The other winners were Toulon. La Rochelle, Scarlets and UBB.
In Pool 2, 5 sides had 5 pointers - Lyon (against a weak Glaws), Exeter thumped Glasgow, ASM who scored 51 points at Ashton Gate, Toulouse who won at the Kingspan and Racing. The other side to win was Munster.
With only the top 4 from each pool qualifying for the 1/4s, it could possibly that even if you won all 4 of your pool games, you might might not even qualify for the next stage. Sharpens the minds though!
This was the MHR squad for the Leinster game : Some big names amongst them, including a certain EA on loan to them.
Montpellier: Rattez; Ngandebe, Reilhac, Vincent (capt), Martin; Lozowski, Paillaugue; Fichten, Guirado, Haouas, Chalureau, Willemse, Van Rensburg, Camara, J du Plessis.
Replacements: B du Plessis, Forletta, Lamositele, Picamoles, Timu, Foursans, Vallee, Bevia.
