Looks like Quins get Leinster or Munster. Clarmont get Monpellier. Toulouse or Leicester play Sarries which leaves Ulster Toulon I think. Seriously great set of quarters!! One of my favorite weekends in the year is the HC quarters.

ah romain, mon vieux...i know you hate Leinster with a passion and will do everything in your power to make them lose (see: vs london irish 2009, vs northampton 2011 (didn't work that time though), vs ospreys 2012, just to name the most egregious examples) but taking 73 mins to bin one of the Exeter Cheats was really extracting the urine. what are you doing on a rugby field? you should be refereeing games of tiddlywinks

that being said, we did well to get the 4 tries but you could sense the desperation sometimes. many times, we tried to force it too much. lineout execution is a real concern at the moment. we got off to a great start but Robbo's moment of idiocy cost us in the long-run, as it gave exeter the belief and momentum they needed to stay in the game and keep plugging away

and now, a special message for my good friends in the province of munster:

any chance you could throw the match tomorrow? even the thickest munster fan would have to agree that ulster and Leinster are the only teams capable of keeping the european cup in ireland. no offence or anything, but yous have been kind of rubbish for past few years and you haven't a hope in hell of winning the Heino this season. no offence, like (ok, some). if you do render this favour though, it won't go unnoticed by Yours Truly. a complimentary basket of neeps would be making its way doan soath faster than you can say "hoe's she cuttin' der"
