Heineken Cup - 12th October 2012

Last season’s Heineken Cup runners up Ulster start this year’s campaign against Castres, and the home side are just 1/6 to get their campaign off to a flying start. That’s more than understandable given the home side’s pedigree – even when looking at the likes of Ravenhill legend and South Africa back rower Peidrie Wanneburg – and the fact that they’ve beaten Clermont Auvergne and Leciester here in the past two seasons.

The visitors have just three wins from 25 outings on  the road but have been beaten only one by double figures this season, when Top 14 pacesetters Toulon beat them 33-12. Ulster are of a similarly high standard but may grind things out by just the 1-12 points this evening and accept the winning start.

Ospreys should beat Treviso but the handicap is hard to judge against a side which can be incredibly obdurate when they want to be. 

Advice

1 pt Ulster to win by 1-12 points (3/2 Betfred, 15/8 Ladbrokes)
