France favourite to be refreshed by Heineken Cup victory!
French club rugby is looking as strong as ever and William Hill offer 6/4 that a French club lifts the Heineken Cup with an English club offered at 15/8 and Ireland 9/4. That said Leinster are the 9/2 favourites to lift the trophy with Toulouse 5/1 and Leicester 7/1.
"We have seen much improved turnover on the Heineken Cup and we are putting this down to the excitement that was generated during the World Cup. We think that the French sides could well carry the momentum that their national side garnered," said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams
