Watch where Cardiff go. If Cardiff get an Irish team in Tier 1 then no Irish team can get Racing or an Italian team.

Whichever Irish team get Perpignan will also avoid Racing or Italians, regardless of Cardiff.

Pool 1, Leinster, Saints...

[nopeare]

We have to get castres now since racing need to be placed with another french team

[Grumpy Old Man]

Pool 1, Leinster, Saints...

Ospeys and Castres

[simonokeeffe]

didnt know Serge Blanco was from Munster

Saints, Hairsprays, Castres, no runner up from our group and home quarter looks tough
key will be getting saints in back to back games, first up especially could be tough as they start preseason much earlier

[simonokeeffe]

Leinster, Northampton, Ospreys, Castres

Toulon, Cardiff, Glasgow, Exeter

Toulouse, Saracens, Connacht, Zebre

Clermont, Quinns, Scarlets, Racing

Ulster, Leicester, Montpellier, Treviso

Munster, Perpignan, Edinburgh, Glouceste

Leinster, Toulon, Toulouse/Saracens, Clermont, Ulster/Leicester, Munster, Toulouse/Saracens, Glasgow my guess for 1/4 finalists with us away

[RavenhillRaider]

Tough enough pools for ourselves and ulster. Would say munster has the best draw of the irish teams.

[Oulart]

If Munster don't qualify Rob Penney will have a lot to answer for, Ulster should be ok also. Happy that Glasgow got Cardiff they deserve a bit of luck! 2 qualifiers from Pools 2 and 3

[Dexter]

Tough enough pools for ourselves and ulster. Would say munster has the best draw of the irish teams.

..by a country mile...

[Mexicola]

Bloody hell..

[johng]

Munster poxed.

We have 3 reasonably tough but not unbeatable teams.

Ulster have similar. Possibly Leicester harder than Northampton, but the other 2 easier than our 2.

Pro12/Challenge Cup Champions
Beaten Premiership Finalists

Is there even a nice away trip in there?
