Heineken Cup Rugby back with free bets offer from Paddy Power

Jamie Roberts looks set to miss the Cardiff Blues Heineken Cup showdown against Racing Metro because of a knee injury that has kept out of action since Christmas as we bring you free Heineken Cup rugby bets from Paddy Power bookmaker.

The rampaging centre is in danger of missing Wales’s 6 Nations campaign which gets underway in February along with his club’s in France which will decide whether they make it to the knockout stages of European rugby’s premier competition.

“I’m not sure what the take’s going to be on Jamie going off with Wales,” said Blues coach Gareth Baber. “I think that possibly it’s all come a bit too soon for him. Obviously, you hope it’s going to clean up quickly, but it’s not going to this week.”

With Gavin Henson also looking likely to miss out, the Blues must at least equal the result achieved by Edinburgh in their game at Murrayfield against London Irish on Sunday.

Both sides are tied on 17 points at the top of Pool Two, but the Welsh outfit’s bonus point at Murrayfield gives them the edge if they finish level.

In Pool Six both Biarritz and Ospreys will go head to head in a bid to keep their slim chances of being one of the two best runners up and qualify for the quarter finals.

Both have 13 points and are positioned well behind pool leaders Saracens, who take on Trevisio on Sunday, and must hope results go their way ahead of their meeting in France also on Sunday.

In Saturday’s fixtures, it is the Irish provinces that figure in the most attractive ties, with Ulster squaring up to Clermont Auvergne in France, with the winner taking the automatic qualification spot.

Leinster and Munster both top their respective pools comfortably nad have already secured a spot in the next phase of the competition, rendering their ties against Montpellier and Northampton meaningless, for them at least.

In Saturday’s three remaining ties, Leicester will hope to finish an otherwise frustrating campaign on a high against rock-bottom Arioni, Scarlets travel to France to take on Castres while Bath play hosts to Glasgow.
