If Ulster and Clermont win their Semis.....

... that surely makes Tigers the 3rd best team in Europe? After all we beat both of them in the pool stages.

More seriously, having won away 1/4 finals they deserve the "home" semis they will get. English clubs meanwhile will need to try and understand quickly how they can improve things. Far too often this year we have been completely blown away by teams and it will be the first time there is no English club in one of the 4 semi finals.

English clubs need to learn how to be creative and that rugby isn't just a bash it up sport

The teams that try and run it, moving the point of contact quickly have been bashed as well as those that try and be physical.

As always boys its a mix of both, sounds overly simple but Ulster and Leinster have both been about breaking the gain line up the middle then shifting it out wide with quick ball.

Simples.

For me it is not about style - but the quality (or lack of) in the AP. Our teams just are not good enough.
