Here are my early tips for you all.
If you want me to go into detail about a selection then just ask, I don't want to write loads and loads of info if no one is going to understand any of it.
Winners Group 1 - USAP Perpignan
You can currently get 4/11 at Ladbrokes - I suggest you do and quick.
Winner Group 2 - Clermont Auvernge. This is a value bet. Clermont have bought in a raft of players following last years success and should be in the running to win the group. You can get 7/2 with Corals at the moment. |

cant wait for the Heineken Cup to start
I wouldnt mind putting a bet on Cardiff Blues to get in to the Knockout Stages as they are really improving now and they have a quality pack with Kiwis Xavier Rush and Paul Tito in there, and also players such as Martin Williams who everyone knows is a World Class Flanker. Their backs are not bad either as they do play quite a few youngsters and also signed Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas in the Summer and he's the kind of player that they need |

Welshie,
Cardiff were going great guns until this weekend where they picked up a raft of injuries.
| Quote: |
Cardiff Blues are facing an injury crisis ahead of their opening Pool Three Heineken Cup encounter with Bristol on Sunday.
Fly-half Nicky Robinson is just one of five players, including Welsh captain Gareth Thomas, who picked up injuries in a bruising EDF Energy Cup game against Leicester at the weekend.
Robinson hobbled out of the Blues 42-20 defeat with a leg strain, whilst Thomas also left the pitch early with a knee injury.
Flanker Maama Molitika and wings Tom James and Jamie Roberts all took heavy blows to their shoulders.
"It was a disappointing result against Leicester but the biggest concern now is the number of injuries. We've got five players who are all concerns for next weekend," Blues coach Dai Young said.
"We're hopeful that Gareth, Tom and Jamie will recover but Nick and Maama are real worries. If these boys don't recover then we will have big problems behind the scrum."
Cardiff Blues have already lost Robinson's understudy Nick MacLeod for six weeks after he snapped a tendon in his finger. Now they risk starting the Heineken Cup without a recognised fly-half.
