After this weekends quarter finals, what do you make of the semi-final line up?

No French or Irish teams in there, must be the first time that happened for a while. and 3 English teams in there too. Still can't believe Northampton are in the semi's whilst sitting at the bottom of the Premiership, but got to give them credit for taking advantage of of a poor Biarritz team.

The perfromance of the weekend must be Wasps, they played some great rugby yesterday, whilst the Tigers never say die attitude made for a really good game.

Was at the Tigers game on Sun, great game even if i did think that Stade were slightly the better team on the day. Hernandez must be the best 15 in the world. Northampton winning at Biarittz has to be the biggest HC upset, amazing, but they will get hammered by Wasps in Coventry. Scarlets were awsome again and are deff the team to beat this year.

Tigers vs Scarlets - contrasting styles of play, Tigers much stronger, powerful, structured side. Scarlets faster,and more skillful. Who ever imposes their game on the opposition better will win. I think it will be the Scarlets to head to Twickers unfortunatly. I think whoever wins this semi will win the tournament

Wasps vs Saints - one sided semi will see Wasps going through easily to the final. Their playing well in the HC and their pack is too good.

Scarlets vs Wasps - i'll be there and be cheering on the Scarlets to a deserved HC win

Your right Henendaz is cerianly a major talent, makes tries out of knowhere.
I think it would be good for the sport if it wasn't 2 English teams in the final, but I would really like to see the Tigers in there (I have a Tigers supporting mate, so won't be ging to Twickenham otherwise).

Prediction: Wasps v Scarlets final - Scarlets champions, but only by a few points.
