Heineken Cup 2018/19 Prediction Thread

[red exile]

Now that I think of it, might be interesting next year to enter a set of bookies' predictions, just to see how we fare compared to them ;)

And maybe a random generator too. It took me till the fourth round to get above the 50% average.

Edinburgh v Montpellier
Newcastle v Toulon
Saracens v Glasgow
Cardiff v Lyon
Racing v Scarlets
Leicester v Ulster
Castres v Gloucester
Munster v Exeter
Wasps v Leinster
Toulouse v Bath

Can we keep overall table as well see how that changes in the knockouts so everyone keeps picking but top 8/9-16 also go head to head.

yeah, good idea

no half measures from Montpellier. Toulon, less interested at this stage.

It’s the makings of a great game in Edinburgh, they know How to win and it’s great to watch.


Toulon might be better with their second string out because their firsts aren’t bothered.
