FINAL H-CUP WEEK-END

I hardly dare say it, but the rugby so far has been - how can I put it without being rude? - somewhat below par. I've almost forgotten what a Mirco try looks like, so long it seems since he even played, let alone scored. And Harlequins who, it will be remembered, made it all the way to the quarter finals of the H-Cup last year, are skulking at the bottom of their Pool this year with (ahem, don't laugh) two points. This week-end was the last of the H-Cup pool matches, with only one really excitingly watchable match, and finally this is the quarter final line-up. Fairly alléchant!

Munster v Northampton
Biarritz v Ospreys
Toulouse v Stade Français
Leinster v Clermont Auvergne
