Writing in The Guardian, Shaun Edwards believes it could be Northampton's turn to get the better of Munster in the Heineken Cup.
"A tough old group, which is hard on the young Scarlets team that probably does not have enough up front. Perhaps in another year, but it's hard to look beyond Northampton, who came within 40 minutes of winning the Heineken Cup last time, and Munster, the two-times winners who have bags of pedigree. They know each other well and this time it's Northampton's turn to go away from home first up and Thomond still has that aura about it, even if Harlequins did dent Munster's pride last season. That said, this is the group where anyone can beat anyone on their day and while Castres don't often get out of the pool stages themselves, they frequently have a say in who does and, despite going off the boil a bit in the past couple of weeks, are still third in the Top 14."
