HARLEQUINS have been braced to expect “a totally different game” when they resume their Heineken Cup rivalry with Stade Francais this afternoon (5.30pm).

Sale can go all the way in this season’s Heineken Cup, according to the coach of group rivals Clermont-Auvergne.

WHEN Munster fell 17 points behind a rampant Clermont Auvergne team with 25 minutes still to play at the splendid Parc des Sports Marcel Michelin yesterday, there was every reason to fear a defeat of embarrassing proportions.

Newport Gwent Dragons have suffered a major setback in their quest to cause an unlikely European Challenge Cup semi-final upset against French giants Clermont Auvergne tomorrow.

SEVERAL of Munster’s Irish squad members will almost certainly be selected in the team to play Glasgow in the Celtic League at Thomond Park on Sunday (5pm).

LEINSTER coach and former Munster mastermind, Declan Kidney, accepts that both provinces face difficult tasks in the Heineken Cup quarter-finals - but insists they can raise their games to a sufficient level to provide Ireland with two of the four semi-finalists.

FROM the outset, the Pool 3 clash between Biarritz and Leinster at Parc des Sports Aguilera had the look of a group decider about it.

TO the relief of Gary Ella - and Leinster supporters everywhere - out-half Christian Warner has recovered from a hamstring injury and will start in Saturday’s Heineken Cup Pool 3 decider against Biarritz in the south of France.
