Heineken Cup 2013/14 - Sunday 12th January 2014

Ospreys (8/15) v Ospreys  (7/4)

Northampton’s hopes of making the knockouts were ended by Leinster but they can continue a really strong run of form by taking a win at Ospreys. Jim Mallinder’s men have found their best power game in recent weeks at Franklins’ Gardens but were desperately unlucky to lose to Castres on the opening weekend.

Advice: 1 pt Northampton to win by 1-12 points (6/4 general)


Castres (7/4) v Leinster (8/15)

A win for Leinster here will see them all but in the quarter finals, something that they’re more than capable of doing, but this is a Castres side unbeaten in all of their home games this season. However, the loss of Rory Kockott and Antonie Classens is a massive double blow and Leinster’s favouritism is understandable given their outstanding record and experience in this completion along with some lacklustre performances from the home side in recent weeks. If pushed for a selection, the away side to sneak through by the minimum margin would be the bet

Advice: 1 pt Leinster to win by 1-5 points (5/1 general)


Toulouse (8/13) v Saracens (9/5)

Toulouse’s shock defeat to Connacht exposed some of their limits in a fashion not seen in recent years but the rest of their home form has been exemplary and one couldn’t fail to be impressed with the way they put away Clermont last weekend. Having beaten Saracens at Wembley, they are more than capable of repeating the trick despite the strong recent form they’ve shown on the road, and with Zebre to come next, Guy Noves’s side can essentially put themselves in the quarter finals.


Advice: 1 pt Toulouse to win by 1-12 (6/4 Coral)
