You're not reading this, are you? Rotters. You're on your planes, trains and automobiles to the South of France, aren't you? Rotters. You've got your Two Loos tour t-shirts, your wine and your optimism for the match, haven't you? Rotters!
Awwwdeprettypaddies vs Montauban (no nickname)

Now technically I'm writing this after seeing the result for this game. But I wrote my prediction beforehand, so I suppose I should be honest. Anyway, Thomond Park looks outstanding.

Prediction: Munster 5, Montauban 0

The New Chokers vs Fraser Waters

See above for knowing the result. Anyway, Dan Carter! Woo! There's no way he can lose in France, right? Well not this time, anyway.

Prediction: Perpignan 5, Treviso 0

Pointless Whipping Boys vs Caerdydd

We'll learn a lot about Cardiff in this game. Like the colour of their away kit.

Prediction: Calvisano 0, Cardiff Blues 5

Tires vs Tadpoles

Two good teams that aren't going to win the Cup. Home win.

Prediction: Clermont   4,  Sale 0

The Decent Scottish Team vs Dublin 

Leinster have had a pretty highly hyped early season... which they have comprehensively failed to deliver on.  Edinburgh aren't a bad team and will be difficult to beat at home.

Prediction: Edinburgh 4, Leinster 1 

Glaws vs John Connolly's Too Creative For Us

One of these teams cares about playing rugby. For the good of the sport I hope they win.

Prediction: Gloucester 4, Biarritz 0.        

Newport vs Incomprehensible

No one wants to go to either of these places.

Prediction: Dragons 4, Glasgow 0.       

Cerise vs Sequins

Two great old names of rugby, one of which are waxing and t'other is waning. A new stadium will help them, but I'll go with the waxers.

Prediction: Scarlets 0, Harlequins 5.         

Belfast vs Awesome Shirts

Everyone slags them off, I don't care. I love their shirts, they're outstanding. Sadly their rugby is not quite so creative. Ulster are a pain to play at home, despite their terrible start to the season. I'm gonna pick a home win here.

Prediction: Ulster 4, Stade Francais 1.   

Meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat vs Wales

Wales struggled to beat Quins 'A' last weekend, so I've got to go with Tiggers at home.

Prediction: Leicester 4, Ospreys 1.      

Deux Bogs vs Brilliance

I may have hinted that I'm not going to this game and am kinda bitter about it. Aaaaaaanyway, I'm gonna pick a very random result here, two try bonus points, but still a home win. Last time I predicted a Bath loss, we won at Wasps, so bear that in mind.

Predcition: Toulouse 5, Bath 2.         

The Second Coming vs Casters

Frenchies. Away. Yeah.

Prediction: Wasps 4, Castres 0.
