Heineken Cup Pool Six Betting

Pool six of the Heineken Cup is another of the more difficult to predict pools. It is often rare in sport to see one group where there is a lot of quality from the strongest team right down to the supposed weaker team.

Heineken Cup pool six betting should cover the very first pool match right down to the very last. There are a couple of strong teams who will most likely dominate proceedings but the other two teams will bring a lot to the table and will want to party big time.

Favourites in Pool Five

Toulouse have to be the favourites in pool five because they are the French giant that has graced the Heineken Cup for the 2011-2012 competition. Toulouse have the quality, pace and experience to win the entire competition besides from the pool stage.

Toulouse are also favourites in pool five Heineken Cup Rugby Union Betting because they have a tremendous following. Rugby is big business in France and the geographical closeness of other teams in this group means that Toulouse will take thousands wherever they go.

English Clubs in the Heineken Cup

There are two English clubs in the Heineken Cup pooled together in this group. Harlequins and Gloucester will both fancy their chances of putting together a succession of wins which should be enough to put them into the last eight stage.

These English clubs in the Heineken Cup both have a great deal of experience which makes them good bets in rugby union betting. However, in terms of Heineken Cup betting 2011-2012, they will both need to really up the ante over the course of the summer if they want to keep pace with the big boys of Europe.

Underdogs in Pool Six

Connacht Rugby will be the underdogs in pool six simply because they don't have the same levels of quality and experience as the other teams in this pool. They have a fighting chance but they will need the other sides to play miserably if they are going to get through in Schalke-esque fashion to the last eight or later.

There is not going to be any pressure on Connacht which could work in their favour as underdogs in pool six. The underdogs are quite often ignored and if the other teams don't do their homework correctly, Connacht will be in prime position to pounce.

Key Players in Pool Six

There are a number of key players in pool six who could figure in many of the individual Sports Betting markets for the Heineken Cup. Nicolas Bezy is a classic example and the Frenchman from Toulouse should be one of the favourites to kick the most points.

Ugo Monye should feature heavily for Harlequins after recovering from a string of injury setbacks that threatened his rugby career. Monye is one of the players with England experience who plays out wide, a key position to run for the line. Monye could end up with the most tries in the Heineken Cup if sides let him dictate proceedings.
