Ulster had a hero’s performance yesterday after loosing their match to Saracens by 2 points loosing by 15 to 17 to English club Saracens. Why this was a hero’s performance was because Jared Payne got sent off in the fifth minute for a high tackle. With Mike Ashton being one of the players of the match as he scored 2 tries and Botha scoring to make the score 17 points to 9  1 but Farell scored 1 kick from 10 shots and missed some really easy penalties as if he had hit them they would have won this match by half time.  2 Paddy Jackson shots did make this a game and if Ulster had a chance they could have won the match which was unbelievable.  
 

Leinster lost to Tolon by 29 points to 14 but by half time it was 9 points to 6 after that Chiocci and Michell scored tries that would wrap up the game for Tolon. But Geordon Murphy did give Leinster some hope in the last few minutes. But the boot of Giteau with 2 conversions and 2 penalties secured the win for Tolon even after Johnny Wilkinson was taken off after he had hit 2 penalties. Leinster can now focus on the Pro 12 but Tolon are starting to look like a real force.
 

Munster managed to win their match against Toulouse by 47 points to 23 and the result was as comfortable as it seemed Triews from Keeth Earls, Zimon Zeebo Paul O’Connell Kilkoyne and Sandler gave Munster ontol of this match with Kietly hitting 3 penalties and 4 conversions he does seem ready to take the Munster mantel of Ronan O’ Gara. In reply Tolouse scored 2 tries one from Geer and Tekori but the penalties came from Mc Alister with 3 and Beauxis being able to convert both tries. In my opinion Munster will have it hard in the semi final as they travel to Tolon one of the best teams in Europe at the moment  
 

In the other match in the quarter finals Clemaunt beat leister in a tight affair by 22 points to 16 in a very tight match
