Good that you will be able to see some Heineken Cup rugby in SA, this evening’s one between Northampton and Ulster should be a good game with Ulster in really good form at the moment. A pity CJ Stander is injured so you won’t get to see him play for Munster against Saracens. The pick of the weekends games will probably be the one between Leinster and Clermont Auvergne.
