Writing in the Wales on Sunday, Barry John tips Cardiff Blues to lead the Welsh charge in Europe.
"If any Welsh side is going to make it out of their pool, I fancy the Blues to do so.
Xavier Rush is playing well and Casey Laulala is a tremendous playmaker, while young Lloyd Williams looks a real talent at scrum-half.
"He’s very sharp and very quick when he sees a gap around broken play. The back-to-back games against Northampton in December will be make-or-break for the Blues.
"But if they get through that it could be knock-out games in Cardiff all the way, with the final being at the Millennium Stadium. If I were Dai Young, I would put that all down in the dressing room. I’d say, ‘Boys, don’t worry about your passports. There’s no need, we are staying at home!”
