The Heineken Cup kicks off today as we’ll get to see the top clubs around Europe do battle for the next few months. Champions Munster will be determined to defend the title they so famously claimed against Toulouse earlier in the year, but the challengers will be strong.
With talent spread far and wide across Europe at the moment, there are a number of teams that have a genuine chance of making it all the way. Don’t be surprised to see any upset or two either, as match breakers in smaller sides could make all the difference.
We’re in for a cracking few months of rugby, as the Heineken Cup is now considered one of the top, if not the top, club or provincial tournament in the world. That’s up for debate of course, but the fact is that to play Heineken Cup rugby is a real test, and a challenge that someone like Dan Carter himself is relishing.
This is a short advert from Sky Sports for the exciting tournament that should keep us all thoroughly entertained from now until May next year.
At this stage, before the first game has kicked off, anyone care to hazard a prediction as to who will be the two teams in the final? We’ll look back at the end of the tournament and see who got it right.
