Heineken Cup Round 6 Fixtures

With only two teams definitely through to the Quarter Finals of the 2010 Heineken Cup there’s still all to play for this weekend for the remaining teams. Although some teams are so close to a place they can touch, nothing is guaranteed and depending on who comes out fighting there could be some major upsets on the cards.

In Pool 1 Munster currently top the group but with a comprehensive win over the weekend under their belts, Northampton are hot on their heels and its now up to Munster to stop them in their tracks when they play each other again in Thomond Park on Friday evening if they want to qualify as group winners. In Pool 2 Biarritz have already qualified and its unlikely that a second best qualifying place will go to that group.

Still all to play for in Pool 3 with any of three teams potentially topping the group – its all to play for as Leicester, Ospreys and Clermont Auvergne battle it out on Saturday. Pool 4 is still up for grabs because if Ulster beat Bath with a bonus point and Stade Francais lose to Edinburgh a big upset could be on the cards for the french team as Ulster would go through and Stade’s current 17 points may not be enough to secure a much coveted place in the next round.

Pool 5 already has a qualifier in Toulouse but its results elsewhere that will ultimately determine the fate of either Sale or Cardiff Blues should they still be in with a best runner up spot.
And in Pool 6 Leinster look the most likely to qualify top but London Irish are at home to them on Saturday and could cause serious heart break for the current European Champions if they were to beat them.
