Well...

Not so for Munster and La Rochelle.

Disastrous, really.

Rog said as much.

Unacceptable, he called it.

Munster will be away to Exeter and on they'll go.

If they were to make their way through Munster, they would play either La Rochelle or Ulster in a semi-final.

But that's all for another day.

As for Leinster, they beat Bayonne and they will be very, very happy, I think, with the Champions Cup draw in that Bordeaux in particular, Toulouse, Bath are all on the other side of the draw now.

So Leinster finished third overall in the standings and it proved a blessing.

I mean, for Bordeaux finishing top, they got Toulouse in the round of 16.

That was their reward.

Leinster third in the overall standings.

So they'll have home advantage against Edinburgh.

And then in the quarterfinal, they'll be at home again to either Harlequins or Sale.

You would kind of think they have a great chance, therefore, being in a semifinal where they would have either Toulon, Glasgow.

Glasgow would be away.

Glasgow would be away.

Toulon, Glasgow away or Bulls, Stormers at home.

So suddenly they're kind of joint favourites now with Bordeaux for the tournament, despite maybe not playing their best stuff thus far.
