All four Heineken Cup quarter-finals on Eurosport this weekend.

Final score 47 - 23 to Munster, Toulouse continue with their disappointing season, by their standards, lying sixth in the league, I suppose losing to second-placed Munster is no surprise.

Will the other two Irish sides make it through to the semi-finals?

stand up for the Ulster men, take a bow !

an absolute titanic effort to come so close to winning the game against Sarries after being reduced to 14 men after only 4 minutes of play.

the 2 matches I saw,munster vs Toulouse and ulster vs Saracens rugby at its best,i did feel for ulster going so close with a man short for 75minutes.

what no taffs?

I think Stuart Hogg's sending off and Jarod Payne's sending off highlighted a change in the view on collisions in the air. It's the obligation of the second arriving player to make sure he does not hit someone in the air, and if they do not make sure that they don't, it's a red card. I think that is a much more difficult obligation to fulfil than, for example, the requirement to set a player down safely after lifting him in the tackle. And unfortunately, I think it will favour players who are reckless and quick over players who are perspicacious and quick

I just watched the biggest load of pish since November 2012. I just watched Edinburgh get thumped by bottom side Zebre. Three missed penalties didn't help, but Edinburgh were shoved off their own scrum, had their lineout stolen two or three times and were lucky to get away with a 26 - 13 scoreline, as their attack swept from side to side like a windscreen wiper - Zebre now have more hope of qualifying for Europe, as they trail Treviso by only four points. Edinburgh have ten points to make up on Welsh side Scarlets to get two Scottish teams into the European Cup.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the League, Munster go second, above Glasgow, after a bonus point win over fellow emerald-islanders Connacht, who trail Edinburgh by a point. The two Scottish teams have a game in hand - the delayed second leg of the 1872 Cup - the oldest domestic fixture in the world - to be played next Saturday, on Heineken Cup Semi-Final Weekend

After a disappointing thumping in Italy, Edinburgh scored two losing points at Scotstoun as Glasgow go 2nd in the league with their four-try bonus point win to clinch the 1872 Cup. Tim Visser scored twice, and set up another - the Flying Dutchman is most definetley back.

Elsewhere, Saracens soundly beat Clermont find their way to the final Heineken Cup Final

What a game!

What drama!

I've just watched a replay of the Montpelier - Castres semi-final. Drama all the way to the 100th minute, and Castres through to the final to defend their title against the international super-stars of Toulon - but first, Toulon have to defend their European crown against English finalists Saracens

I'm chortling with glee and anticipation, and rubbing my hands to boot, at the prospect of the Heineken Cup live tomorrow night in Sid's (on the TV - the place isn't big enough for a game of fifteen a side on the premises).

Eurosport, 11 pm Thai

I'm worried it might interfere with my early morning Sunday cycle, though...

a big shout out to my team Wasps for winning the Challenge cup and booking a spot in next years Champions cup.

beating Stade on their own patch 20 - 6, get in !

Right, I've just seen Johnnie Wilkinson heading up to Sid's, so the game must be about to start. I'd better be heading off - I'm feeling a bit Oatesey, so I may be some time...

Astro's got all three finals on live. Saracens 6 - 0 Northampton at the moment, and at 1.15 this morning, Leinster - Glasgow; I've lined up four cans of Irn Bru in preparation.

I'm going to watch a recording of Castres - Toulon tomorrow

Drama upon drama - the scores are level 14 apiece as Saracens are forced into touch as the clock turns red, and we're looking forward to extra time...

In the third minute Stephen Myler's penalty puts Northampton ahead.

In the sixth, Charlie Hodgson equalises

And in the third minute of the second half of extra time, Saracens break, penalty for a deliberate knock-on and Charge=-down Charlie Hodgson puts Saracens ahead again

Posted

And sustained pressure from Northampton sees the ball driven through the ruck and placed under a heap of bodies to score a try that clinches the game for Northampton.... and in about forty-five minutes, Leinster - Glasgow...

I was too focussed to post during the game, and too distraught to post after - Leinster 34 - 12 Glasgow, Glasgow seemed to go to pieces, even senior players like Sean Lamont suffering from desperation

With the score at 20 12 with ten minutes to go, the Glasgow fans were silently praying for a miracle which never came

Good results for the Scottish teams, with wins over Leinster (Glasgow) and Munster (Edinburgh).

Not that I've been paying much attention, as the Other Code gets to the pointy end of the season, and five teams scrapping for 2nd place on the last weekend.

And the Asian Sevens at MBPJ Stadium, Kelana Jaya this weekend just past.

I thought this would add a bit of humour to the thread.

The things blokes will do to get an all expenses paid trip to the 2015 Rugby world cup.

Travis McIntosh and Matt McCormick wrote their wedding vows yesterday, brimming with"nervous excitement" about their big day.

The Dunedin men will marry tomorrow, but their move has horrified gay groups.

The pair are heterosexual best mates.

Engineering student Mr McIntosh, 23, and teacher Mr McCormick, 24, will tie the knot to win a The Edge radio station competition and a trip to the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.
