December 6, 2011 · 0 Comments
It promises to be a big weekend of live Heineken Cup action as Sky Sports broadcast 10 live matches from Round 3 of the competition between 9-11 December.
The middle fortnight is always significant for the competition, and none moreso than this year with the top two clubs in each pool meeting each other home and away. It raises the unusual possibility that a number of pools could be settled before Christmas.
