I believe they're 10th at the minute.

They do have some great players, some really top international players, but not a team that's at their very best.

So I would see them getting through that semi-final, but then I can only assume Bordeaux will be in the final.

Bath are a great team, but Bordeaux are...

I think they're an all-time great club team and I don't see anyone beating them right now.

But if Leinster manage to get through the next couple of games with flying colours, I would like to see more international play this weekend against Benetton.

I know there's the thing of managing injuries and managing fitness as well off the back of the Six Nations, but I would just like to see a real comprehensive, cohesive performance from all of them.

The Ulster... You wouldn't have thought just even a few weeks ago they would be in the conversation to not make the top eight and now they're very much...

A lot of people's favourites to not make it.

I think all four provinces will make it.

I think Connacht are on a really good run of form now.

They have a lot of confidence.

A lot of the players have talked about how much they love playing in the Lancaster system now.

So I see them making it.

Leinster will obviously make it.

I think Munster will get the win this weekend and that'll...

that'll go a long way.

And yeah, I think also just need to pull out maybe one win and a bonus point out of the next three games, which is not, certainly not a given, but I think there's enough character in that group to manage to do it.

Very good.

One thing I wanted to mention, actually, Linda Dugang actually will be very important this week because she used to play in Claremont.
