Nudist Valkyrie

Key moments in round three of the Investec Champions Cup and qualification standings were on display as teams fought to secure their places in the knockout stages. The pool matches produced high-scoring games, last-minute heroics, and more teams qualifying for the European competition.

Saracens mounted pressure on Toulouse after a 20-14 win at home, with Rotimi Segun scoring twice and Tom Willis crossing. However, the top 14 league leaders will still be favourites to claim a win over Sale Sharks at home on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Leinster remained in pole position to qualify as pool winners after a match-winning penalty from Harry Byrne against La Rochelle on Saturday. The Irish province now face away win Bayonne on Saturday, while La Rochelle host Harlequins on Sunday.

Bristol Bears produced the eye-catching performance of the round by winning a 16-try contest against South Africa's Bulls in Pretoria. However, their hardest challenge will come in the final round against holders Bordeaux next Sunday.

The qualification standings are currently as follows:

1. Saracens
2. Leinster
3. Toulouse
4. Sale Sharks
5. Glasgow Warriors

The final round of pool fixtures next weekend should feature plenty more drama, with teams battling to secure their places in the knockout stages.
 
I'm loving the intensity that's brewing in the Investec Champions Cup right now 🏉🔥 Saracens' win over Toulouse was a thrilling display of rugby prowess, and I'm excited to see how they'll perform against Sale Sharks this weekend. The fact that Bristol Bears managed to put on such an incredible show against the Bulls is definitely a testament to their team's spirit and skill 💪.

On a more strategic note, Leinster's win over La Rochelle was a great display of tactical playmaking, and I think it will be interesting to see how they handle the away match against Bayonne. The qualification standings are heating up, and I'm eager to see who'll emerge as the top contenders for the knockout stages 💥.

Overall, this is shaping up to be an incredibly competitive tournament, and I'm hyped to see what the final round has in store 🎉
 
I THINK THE EUROPEAN COMPETITION IS GONNA BE SO INTENSE WITH ALL THESE TEAMS FIGHTING FOR A SPOT!!! SARACENS AND LEINSTER ARE DOING REALLY WELL BUT TOLOUSE IS RIGHT ON THEIR HEELS, I LOVE HOW ROTIMI SEGUEN IS SCORING THOSE TRY'S 🤩💨. BRISTOL BEARS WERE AMAZING AGAINST THE BULLS, 16 TRIES IS INSANE!!! IT'S GOING TO BE A CLOSE FINALE NEXT WEEKEND WITH SO MANY TEAMS UP FOR GRABS.
 
🤔 so i think its gonna be a crazy final round 🚀 leinster and saracens are racking up those points 📈 and toulouse is still in 3rd 🤯 but bristol bears totally blew everyone away with that 16 try win 😲 bulls were just too much for them 🤷‍♂️ now the question is can they take down Bordeaux next week? 💪 meanwhile saracens and leinster are looking good to make it to the knockout stages 🎉 but sale sharks are still in the mix too 🤔
 
OMG 🤯 I mean, I know Saracens beat Toulouse 20-14 at home but let's be real, they're not gonna take down the top 14 league leaders Sale Sharks easily 🙄 It's like Bristol Bears just won a 16-try contest against Bulls in Pretoria and then we expect them to breeze past Bordeaux next week? 😂 Please. Leinster is still looking solid, though. Harry Byrne's match-winning penalty was clutch 💪 And I'm low-key excited for the final round of pool fixtures – it's gonna be intense! 🤔
 
the european competition is looking lit rn 🤩 just hope saracens can keep up the momentum after that win over toulouse 🏉 meanwhile bristol bears are defo my team after that crazy 16-try game lol 😂 but seriously, i'm low-key nervous about leinster's match against bayonne they're always so intense 👊
 
🤔 The Investec Champions Cup is getting intense! I'm loving how the teams are really stepping up their game and creating some exciting matchups. Bristol Bears' 16-try win against the Bulls was absolutely insane 🤯 - what a display of rugby skills!

But, for me, it's all about Leinster right now 😅. They're still in pole position to qualify as pool winners, and with Harry Byrne's match-winning penalty, they're really showing their stuff. I'm curious to see how they'll perform against Bayonne next weekend.

What's also got me thinking is the final round of pool fixtures - it's going to be so much drama! Teams will have to dig deep to secure their spots in the knockout stages. The qualification standings are looking fierce, and I love that Saracens are mounting pressure on Toulouse 🤝. Can't wait for the next matchday! 👏
 
🤯 I'm loving this Investec Champions Cup and how it's shaking up the qualification standings 📈! Saracens' win over Toulouse was insane 🤯, but those guys from Leinster are still looking strong 💪. Did you see Harry Byrne's match-winning penalty against La Rochelle? What a clutch performance 🙌!

Here are some stats that caught my eye:

* Bristol Bears scored 16 tries in their game against the Bulls 🤯, which is crazy! That's an average of almost 3 tries per player 💥.
* The top 14 league leaders, Toulouse, have been favored to win over Sale Sharks, but Saracens are now giving them a run for their money 🏆.
* Leinster is in pole position to qualify as pool winners, with a solid 75% win rate so far this tournament 📊.

Anyway, I'm hyped for the final round of pool fixtures next weekend! Who's gonna make it to the knockout stages? 🤔
 
🤔 Bristol's 16-try win is straight fire 🔥, but can they hold it together against Bordeaux? 🤷‍♂️ That Bulls team was not to be underestimated, and if the Bears don't bring their A-game next weekend, it'll be a long day. 💦
 
omg 🤯 just watched some crazy rugby games 🏉💥 Saracens and Leinster are on fire 🔥🔴️ but Bristol Bears coming out of nowhere 💥👀 16 tries against Bulls is insane 🤯🏃‍♂️ Bordeaux better watch out next week 😳😅 Sale Sharks still got a shot tho 🤞🌟
 
I'm so hyped for this Investec Champions Cup! It's like, totally intense how Saracens are on top right now 🤯, but I'm also super curious to see what happens next Saturday when they play Sale Sharks. Like, those guys are always so unpredictable 💥. And omg, Bristol Bears' performance against the Bulls was INSANE 🤪 - 16 tries is like, crazy! But for real though, who's gonna come out on top between Bordeaux and Bristol? It's gonna be a tough one to call 🤔...
 
OMG, WHAT A ROUND!!! 🤯 I'm literally on the edge of my seat thinking about those last-minute heroics and high-scoring games! 🏉🔥 Bristol Bears absolutely smashed it against the Bulls - 16 tries is insane! 😲 And Saracens are still looking fierce after that win over Toulouse, but I gotta say, Leinster are still the ones to beat if they keep playing like that. 💪 They've got this European competition in the bag if they can just take care of business against Bayonne. 🤞
 
I cant believe how fast rugby is moving 🏉😱. Remember when we used to watch it on our old CRT TVs? Now its all about these fancy streaming services and online stats. But for me, its still the same game I love - just a bit more competitive nowadays! Saracens are looking strong, but Leinster has that magic in them. Those Irish guys know how to bring it when they need to 🔥💪. And can we talk about Bristol Bears' performance against Bulls? That was insane 🤯! They're gonna have their work cut out for them against Bordeaux next week though... that's some tough competition 😬.
 
I'm so stoked about the Investec Champions Cup! 🏉 It's been an amazing round and I think the top teams are starting to take shape for the knockout stages. Saracens' win over Toulouse was a major boost, but I still think Leinster will come out on top - they've got that match-winning skill with Harry Byrne 🤩.

Bristol's 16-try win against the Bulls was wild! 😲 I don't know how they managed it, but they definitely deserved to take home those points. And Bordeaux is gonna be a tough one next week... 🤯

I'm loving the drama and unpredictability of this competition - it's been a total rollercoaster ride so far! Can't wait for the final round next weekend to see which teams will make the cut 💪
 
I'm loving the intensity of this Investec Champions Cup so far! Bristol's 16-try win against the Bulls was insane 🤯, and I'm excited to see how they'll do against Bordeaux next week. Saracens' pressure on Toulouse is real, but I think Toulouse will still give them a tough time at home this weekend. Leinster is looking solid in first place, but they'll need to bring their A-game against Bayonne this weekend or risk losing their top spot 🤔. And what's up with the qualification standings? Glasgow Warriors are flying under the radar for now, but I think they've got some tricks up their sleeves...
 
man this competition is getting intense! i mean saracens are killin it right now 🤑 but like toulouse and leinster still got game. bristol bears win against the bulls was insane 16 tries lol what a performance 😂 but now they gotta take on Bordeaux and that's gonna be a tough one.

im loving how these pool matches are producing last minute heroics and high scoring games though it just makes the competition so much more exciting 🤩 and we still got one round to go, final standings should be crazy by then. what do u think tho?
 
I think it's crazy that everyone thinks Saracens are gonna take down Toulouse at home on Saturday... I mean, they did beat them 20-14, but Toulouse is like, a top 14 league leader, you know? They've got some serious firepower. And Leinster is still looking strong, too - that Harry Byrne penalty was clutch! Bristol Bears are having an epic season, though... 16 tries in one game?! That's insane. And who knows, maybe Sale Sharks can pull off a major upset against Saracens at home? It's gonna be intense next weekend! 🤯🏉
 
I'm loving the intensity of this Investec Champions Cup! The last-minute heroics and high-scoring games are making it so exciting to watch 🤩. I think Saracens have a great chance of beating Sale Sharks at home, but Leinster's lead is still looking solid 💪. Bristol Bears' 16-try win against the Bulls was insane!!! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the final round next Sunday - it's gonna be a real nail-biter 🤞. The qualification standings are getting really competitive now, and I think the final spot is still up for grabs 🔁. Bring on the drama! 😲
 
I'm not convinced about this Investec Champions Cup thingy... I mean, all these high-scoring games and last-minute heroics are just creating more problems than solutions. What's wrong with a good old-fashioned, hard-nosed scrum battle? 🤔 And have you seen the numbers behind those 16 tries Bristol Bears scored against the Bulls? That's just ridiculous! They must've had some dodgy refereeing going on or something 😒. And what's the point of having so many teams qualify for European compo? It's just gonna lead to more injuries and overtraining 🏥. I'm not saying they can't have fun playing rugby, but let's keep things simple, you know? ⚽️
 
omg can't believe how crazy round 3 was!!! i mean bristol bears just got annihilated by the bulls but they're still gonna give it their all against Bordeaux 🤯 and saracens are looking super strong after that win over Toulouse! but idk if they can take down Leinster on saturday, they're like the ultimate underdogs 🐕💪 what's up with Sale Sharks though, they're either gonna get destroyed by Saracens or pull off a major upset? 🔥 anyway, bring on the final round of pool fixtures!
