Same as where we were at the beginning of the day thanks to Glasgow. Second seeds, home quarter final, playing Stade again.

18 points and out by Ulster, sore one particularly after winning at Toulouse. A losing bonus yesterday would have seen them through.
Tigers back to Stade is an odd QF, surely it should be arranged the QF is to the team they haven't already played. Anyway, seedlings are worked out for a reason I suppose.
Racing v Toulon is the tie of the round there IMO

That tie is a cracker and with the way Racing have been They will prob start slight favs but one of the favs will go out

I would certainly put Racing as favourites, hopefully we will be facing them in the semis. Still cannot past Series for the win. They have been ruthlessly efficient all season

Yeah I think Sarries as well - but Leicester have looked impressive as well and won't discount Wasps with the way they are playing

Believe it or not we have quite a few out with injuries including our first choice 10, a great 7, 2 very good second rows and we still have De Villiers to come in the centres. Hoping for an even stronger team by the time of the quarter finals in April. Still staying hopeful

Only seen Sarries results and likewise Tigers and both look impressive however I have seen a bit of Racing in the Top 14 as we got drawn and they looked real good. I fancy they'll beat Toylon to set up a tasty semi

Watched Racing against Saints in Carters first game and they were very impressive
But if that Toulon back line clicks then it could be a juicy match up

As a sarries fan very impressed with us of late but takes a massive effort to maintain those levels all through the season, lets hope they dont drop off in the spring after the internationals! Not a big fan of the draw against the Saints either, they have a habit of beating us in the big games of late, plenty of other sides Id have preferred to have drawn, especially if they get back to full strength

You'll destroy them, they beat us twice using driving maul mainly but I wasn't impressed with them at all. We should have beat them at Northampton and our game at home was the worst I've seen Glasgow play in 3 years.

Hartley confirmed as captain

hmmmm like Johnson.... the selectors obviously don't go for a captain that the kids can look up to.

Don't recall Johnson spending over a year out of the game for banning - nor swearing at the ref and directly calling him a cheat amongst many other issues

I don't reckon he's captain material, but eddie jones obviously sees something. you're wrong about Johnson though.

Hartley will do ok as captain, he has enough help around him

Johnson played much of his rugby with a lower level of TV coverage with no slow motion, multiple angles and speakers everywhere. He was certainly no saint and that is from a lifetime Tigers fan. Willing to give Dylan a chance to step up.
Was also looking at who else you might choose. No real leadership in Cole or Mahler, second row does not pick itself and Launchbury is too quiet, back row is open to different selections and likely to lack experience, Youngs is not the sharpest tool in the box, centres are likely to be new caps or relatively inexperienced, hard to captain from wing and Nowell and Watson are young so the other option would be Brown and he runs a lot of people up the wrong way. That leaves Hartley who is also untainted by the World Cup disaster
