There are no Irish teams in them, so hardly worth mentioning!
Might as well think about the Wee Cup too.
Bristol v Bordeaux
In a fight between Bears and Beagles, there can only be one winner, and I’m afraid it’s not the lovable hounds.
Racing 92 v Saracens
French home advantage to edge it.
Exeter v Toulouse
Probably another close one, but French inability to play away to lose it.
Toulon v Leicester
How did the Tiggers make it this far? They won’t get any further.

Back in’t day when I tried programming was taught a bit of pascal. Is that still even used now?

I echo Chimpie’s thought, Trisk – Good Luck
I did an Open University course in OO programming, we used Smalltalk as it was apparently the “purest” version of OO, but we also dabbled in Java which was actually brand spanking new at the time.
My wife talked about Ruby and Ruby on Rails as being THE thing for developers quite recently

Thanks for all the good wishes – I was in a global team but I knew I was exposed as being one of the few in “high cost” country (most of the team are India and Romania) . My role got re-jigged* a couple of years back – so I ought to have gone then (in retrospect).
Upside is I got 2 weeks of a “consultation” (to look around for other jobs internally) plus 8 weeks garden leave… unlike a colleague in the US – his boss came back from vacation to be told “you’ve a week to tell Bob he’s being made redundant”….. “Bob” got 2 weeks notice….
Anyway, the payoff is “not insubstantial” and a lot of the “ex-gratia” payment is tax free. So, I decided to walk and not try to hawk myself around internally. I could easily be in same situation in a year or two with no guarantee of same ex-gratia payoff….
Not sure it’s used much commercially, but it was always the great “teaching” language (like it’s cousin Modula-2)
Yes – that’s another “hot” one…. and I’ve got a few free weeks to mug up on it.
* I was managing an offshore team – and built it up and established a management structure – when the time came to “flatten the hierarchies” my reports became my peers – so effectively I hired my own replacements.

The graun is on fire today:
Ask anyone who is the Blackest white rock band to emerge over the past 30 years, and my hunch is that few would say Radiohead…
… It might sound absurd if judging by their slightly awkward, extremely white appearance, but I have long heard a strange and beautiful Blackness in Radiohead. There are powerful resonances between their work and radical Black art, that are more meaningful than ever amid our current racial reckoning.
I’m sure most of their fans just want them play Creep at their shows again but hey ho.

Fantastic news for England supporters, the Wales fly half factory is obviously being mothballed, maybe production is being outsourced to India.
