Leicester Heineken Cup favourites

LEICESTER’S back-to-back victories over Heineken Cup champions Wasps has helped make them favourites to win this year’s title.

On a day when European Rugby bosses finalised dates and details of television coverage for the remaining two rounds of the pool stages in January, Leicester are 4/1 favourites to win the trophy for the third time.

But, while the Zurich Premiership side and French giants Toulouse head the field with the bookmakers, Leinster and Munster are garnering support at 5/1 and 13/2 respectively.
