The Mighty Quins travel to Ireland this weekend to face a nice, easy (Ha Ha!) game against Munster in the Amlin Challenge Cup Semi Final. The bookies give us virtually no chance in this one but who knows? After a decent win away at Leeds on Sunday, the team is playing well and despite some dismal away form this year it's still 15 versus 15 - maybe a shock is on the cards??
The biggest problem for me is that I've foolishly rota'd myself to work so can't watch it!!
Come on you Quins!!

Off to the Rec..........
Getting ready tonight to head West for a long weekend in Bath culminating in a first visit to the Rec - home of Bath Rugby, for what promises to be an exciting and competitive match between Bath and Harlequins at 2.15pm this Saturday. Weather forecast looks reasonably promising and with a fast, hard pitch and two attack-minded sides, a great spectacle could be in store.
Must remember to pack some extra tracksuit trousers and rugby shirts and my running shoes in case the impulse to tackle the hills around Bath prove compelling!

Champions League
How will the English clubs fare in Europe this week and next? Both ties involving English clubs look to be close and unlikely to be settled either way after the first legs. Spurs really need to get an away goal tonight against Real Madrid to give them a decent chance at White Hart Lane. I go 2-1 Madrid tonight.
Tomorrow's game at Stamford Bridge sees Chelsea host Manchester United. With little love lost between the clubs a tense, physical battle is likely which might just favour the Blues who have found a bit of form of late following their mid-season slump. I go 2-1 again with Chelsea taking a narrow advantage to Old Trafford for the return.

Amlin Cup Quarter Final
It's a big night for us at Mad4Sport this Friday as four of us head to the Twickenham Stoop for the quarter final match against local rivals London Pests (sorry, I mean Wasps!). Following the disappointment of the close defeat to Leicester Tigers on Saturday, the Quins will be focussed on securing a semi final berth against either Munster or Brive (albeit without local boy Joe Marler who has been suspended for two weeks following his David Haye impersonation in the said Tigers game!).
While Quins have been playing well recently, Wasps have been struggling and most observers are predicting a home win. However, I would not be so confident as Wasps have a terrific record in cup competition and for them it is probably their last chance of securing Heineken Cup rugby next season. I predict a fierce battle with a tight first 60 minutes before Quins strength pulls them through by seven points at the end. Could be the "Kiss of Death" though given my track record of predictions on this blog!
