I reckon the Ospreys have a good chance of ending the pathetic showing the Welsh have put up in the competition so far.
They will get out of their easy group and by then they'll have had some decent time to get used to the new coach. They have a brilliant team, if they could gel they will go very close.
16/1 is a very decent price about them to win it.

Oh, and by 'pathetic' I assume you are also referring to the Blues? The only team unbeaten in the competition this season, remember; a better win/loss record than Leinster.

We're off again wih the Heineken Cup. Crucial week for the French challenge this year I reckon. Wins all round could see 2 French teams in the final in Paris. Perpignan need at least a bonus at Thomand Park tonight which they should get, Munster are shit this year compared to previous seasons. Stade will qualify, but if they lose at Raven Hill it might give them some squeaky bum moments before the end. Blues Toulouse tomorrow is my pick...
Erm, Dupuy might avoid ban because it goes against French law? http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog...gouging-france And we slag the kiwis for getting away with blue murder.

Incidentally, and given that there is always a lot of moaning about the reffing of the breakdown and scrums, I read the other day that Chris Horsman is training to be a referee.
