Toulouse 13-12 Munster

I had no play on that game yesterday. I already had the ante-post bet running on Toulouse, and to be honest, I quietly fancied Munster to sneak a upset. I am waiting to watch the game, but it must have been a tight affair, and perhaps Toulouse are luck to go through.

Leinster vs Perpignan

The Irish province once again play in front of their home crowd, as they bid to derail the French team, who got to the semis after a win over 14 man Llanelli.
I am going to go as far to say that Perpignan are luck to reach this stage. The win over Llanelli was a good one, but you must take the fact that Llanelli played 75 minutes of the game with 14 players, and still came close to winning. I get the feeling this French side will just be content with how far they come already, while Leinster will really feel they have a good chance of winning the Heineken Cup, with the final also being played in Ireland.
Perpignan will battle all the way, but they dont possess any world class players, apart from Manny Edmonds at fly half, while Leinster have class throughout the team. This fact along with the home advantage factor means Leinster should cover the handicap with a double digit figure.

Leinster 14-21 Perpignan

I leave the weekend with mixed feelings. A little disappointed that Leinster didnt cover, but as a Toulouse backer it is a great thing. I would much rather be playing Perpignan than Leinster in front of their home fans. I cant see Toulouse having too many problems with Perpignan.

Todays game was awful. Leinster were dreadful, which makes you wonder how they have managed to get this far without losing. The Leinster scrum half needs a lesson on how to distribute the ball, while his kicking was shocking. I thought Perpignan deserved to win, and against all the odds they have made the final. However, I cant help feeling that there were better teams in the competition than Perpignan.

YTD will be updated in full after the final in a few weeks time. :)
