Referees to 15 December 2013
No Tests, no IRB Sevens but again big action in Europe – the fourth rounds of the Heineken and the Amlin and Australian Schools are again in action.
In the Heineken there are six rounds and then the quarterfinals. Who will be that group of eight teams from the six pools for the quarterfinals is by no means clear. This round could make things a bit clearer. In Pool 3 of the Heineken Cup one point separates three teams!
In the Amlin there are five pools of four each. So far Bath, London Wasps, Brive and London Irish are unbeaten but still 20 teams will have to become eight for the quarterfinals.
There are interesting matches in Pool 1. Will Leinster sparkle against Northampton Saints again, at home this time, and will the Ospreys and Castres be as boring as they were last weekend?
In Group 3 there was the shock of Connacht's victory over Toulouse but this time they will be at it in Toulouse while Saracens have it easy against Zebre. In that group Toulouse and Saracens each have 10 points, Connacht nine.
Harlequins smashed uninterested Racing in Paris and how have them on London while Clermont Auvergne could find the Scarlets tough in Llanelli.
In Pool 5 there will be lot of interest when the Tigers go down to Montpellier and in Pool Six Munster also down in the South of France.
In fact the South of France is a good place for rugby this weekend.
The Varsity Match is at Twickenham on Thursday, a match of great tradition, dating back to 1872. Matthew Carley of Kent will referee that famous match.
