EPCR Challenge Cup quarter final opponents

[Steve from Cov]

Edinburgh leading Bath 22-19 with c.10 minutes to go.

Come on Bath - we could do with a home game.

[Heathen]

Looking like a trip to Edinburgh : 29 - 19 now.

And an encounter with a former member of our parish.

[Neils]

41-19

Edinburgh it is then.

On the dreaded plastic.

On the dreaded plastic.

Yup and in a very vitriolic stadium.

Chances of a ticket?

[Neils]

If you are an Edinburgh member tickets apparently go on sale tomorrow. Everyone else 25th. Which suggests day of match should be known soon.

[Bloke in North Dorset]

On the dreaded plastic.

At least we get a chance to spend the week training on it. I’m sure that played a part in the victory against Glaws.

The last-eight draw

Gloucester, winners in 2006 and 2015, join three other English sides, Wasps, London Irish and Sarries, in the last eight, along with two Scottish sides, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and two French sides, three-time former European champions Toulon and Lyon.

Edinburgh v Wasps

Lyon v Glasgow

Toulon v London Irish

Gloucester v Saracens

Ties to be played weekend of 6-8 May

[Wombles]

This may be the second tier European tournament but it is no less important. Strong sides mean this is no easy competition, however given our 14 years without any silverware we have to go all out to win this. Lifting a trophy and champions cup qualification will be huge for us!

Yes, 5 wins on the bounce now. Every chance to make it 6 this weekend. Just keep winning - confidence is building - and who knows where we will end up.

[Neils]

A quick read of the Scottish press today looks forward to a Challenge Cup semi between Glasgow and Edinburgh.  Nice to know both Lyon and Wasps are discounted. But then we aren't ripping up trees.
