I'd like if we got the Ospreys. They need to be put in their place. :evil: Jammy gits.

We are champions of Europe

I fear no one

:D

But a trip to Exeter treviso and Toulon would be handy enough!

Don't care who we get. . . in saying that a french and italian team in our pool could be bad in terms of travelling support. People are not made of money so a lot of people wouldn't be able to afford both.

True enough

What will be will be - believe that Leicester cheetahs are required to also have an Italian side - its the law!

That'll switch to the Saints next season now that Leicester have dropped to Tier 2 and Saints are Tier 1.

Toulon is definitely on my wish list for next season. Otherwise Sale and Castres are the only 2 other locations I haven't been that we could draw and I'm not sure Salford is that high on my wish list!

I though they were now the Leicester Zebras (or Painted Donkeys) with their new strip. Certainly doesn't look like Tigger stripes to me :) . Speaking of which; and only a little off topic as it does relate to the draw - Leicester fans forum is becoming much more of a whinge fest re Leinsters HEC success.

Just to correct the last statement,a few regular whingers,who moan about everything especially anything about the rabid direct league,are moaning.A couple a Northampton sinners fans who try to pretend they are Tigers fans are moaning,most of us acknowledge we have let the Premiership title dominate our season and we need to address this if we can.Leinster are currently the team to beat in Europe,of that there is no question,looking forward to the draw.

Not so sure about that tigerburnie, there appears to be a fair few whingers on your offy board. Amazed at some of the opinions put forward. There also seems to be a lot of spite towards Leinster for some reason, not sure where it comes from tbh.

...but we're still glad that there are plenty of Tigers fans who aren't like that, right? :)

Their new jersey is still terrible though :P

Whinger on internet forum shock! I'd say an ospreys fan (if one of the ten of them has access to the net and can read) would have a right old laugh at some of the moaning here.

While we are champions and should fear nobody ASM and Ospreys would be a group we could actually fail to qualify from. Our luck has to run out against Clermont some time, but while the media still exists I don't see welsh teams run of luck ending!

So we are lucky against Clermont? As Joe john Duffy would say...Jaaaysuz.

Hello,
Don't be overconfident if you get Toulon, it is a very strong team and very hard to play. Next year it will be very hard to win against them. I make it my favorite to win the top 14 this year.
I think for you among the French clubs, Castre is the "easiest".

Although I enjoy come to Dublin and Leinster, I want to play against you as late as possible. Why not for the finals?

Hi Nicolas, Yes as late as possible would do me fine too. I think we've used up all our luck against Clermont these last few years. Hard luck in the Top 14 semi. I would have liked to see a Toulouse - Clermont final.

The Leinster - Montferrand match in the Heineken cup at Donnybrook in the 2003 season (I think) is still to my mind the most intense club match I've ever been at, I admit I wasn't at this year's semi. 12-9 to Leinster in the end but a brutally intense match.

Good luck next year till you meet Leinster, of course :wink:.

Career change and less pay this year - I want a cheap season.
Leinster
Leicester - 40 miles up the road for me, although no other discernible benefits to being there.
Scarlets - road trip, well cheap cider and free sunglasses
Exeter - road trip and nice cream teas

Same boat for me, unfortunately we have to have a French team. I'd assume Racing would be the cheapest travel wise, but expensive for the old vino.

The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

A trip to Exeter would be fantastic as they know their rugby. And a thing or two about cider! yumm. Have watched them in the Premiership and the atmosphere seems terrific. Anyway have been waiting for years for a trip to Biarritz but the jammy gits are top tier (?) again this season. Maybe in the quarters.
Life's a lot more fun when you're not responsible for your actions.
