With clubs from France, England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland in the last eight of the Heineken Cup, quite who will reach the final is tantalisingly unclear. Edinburgh Rugby could be in line to create history, while three Irish provinces find themselves together in the knockout stages for the first time with Leinster Rugby and Munster Rugby both looking to win the trophy for a third time.
Equally, Saracens won't need reminding that on the three previous occasions that the Heineken Cup final has been staged at Twickenham Stadium, the silverware ended up in the hands of an English club - Northampton Saints in 2000 and London Wasps in 2004 and 2007. So what odds on the English champions making it four out four and continuing the defence of the realm?

Add a highly competitive Cardiff Blues side into the mix along with four-time champions, Toulouse, and ASM Clermont Auvergne, who are celebrating their centenary this season, and the destiny of the famous trophy is really anybody's guess.
The race for Amlin Challenge Cup honours is almost as intense as ERC's second tournament continues to grow both in stature and in quality, and this season's knockout line-up is packed with heavyweight clubs with extensive European experience.
