Petes picks from top;
Clermont by 8.
Actual  ClermonT 19-12  (by 5)
Stade to beat a weakened Toulouse team....although even a weakened Toulouse team is better than most   by 2 so not too confident.
Actual Stade came good at the end and won 28-24  (by 4)
Toulon on fire to beat a weakened Bayonne by 24
Actual. well Toulon really were on fire winning 59-0
Montpellier to beat Grenoble by 12
Montpellier won 23-6 (by 17)
Perps to bt Racing by 10.
Perps finally won at the death in a hard game 17-13 (by 4)
Castres are a tough bunch and may be just too good for Agen who win most at home. Castres by 5
Castres won 22-14 (by 8)
Mont de Mars has their best chance to date to get some points and will just win by 3
Well Mont had their best chance and fluffed it getting beat 17-12

Ospreys will massacre a weakened Connacht by 24
Ospreys ran away with this as predicted but only 26-9 (by 17)
Treviso are up to full strength whereas Glasgow have some injuries....plus I don't like the way Warriors play. Treviso at home by 2
Treviso lose...maybe Glasgow is getting better. Didn't see the game. Warriors won by 24-13
Leinster at home to beat a jekyll and hyde Blues but only by 5. Blues have an excellent team on paper.
Blues may have an excellent team on paper but they sucked again and lost 59-22

Bath at home will beat Exeter although I really like Chiefs. bath by 3
Bath did win 23-15 (by 8)
Sarries to beat Saints away from home by 5. This is a brave call, but Sarries are just too well organized.
And thuis it came to pass with Sarries winning 16-6
Leicester to bt Gloucester away by 5
Missed the game...must have been good because Cherry and Whites won this 27-21. Maybe Leic have lost some polish

Sundays games...I haven't checked team sheets yet but on the basis of guess I'd say Quinns to narrowly bt Irish away and Wasps at home to bt Welsh by 15
