Here's the runners & riders for the draw... Looks like there's a
good chance we could end up with another English team.

Leinster away - Although both fixtures i cannot imagine us
winning unfortunately...

Sadly Racing is one of the teams we can't draw as they're in the
same tier as us, along with Connacht.
The rules of the draw also say that "Clubs from the same league
will be kept apart until the allocation of the Tier 4 clubs" so
I think this means that we can't be drawn with Sarries, Exeter,
Gloucester or Saints.

I think it means precisely the opposite of that. If we had been
one of those top 4 clubs we could not have been drawn against
any of the other 3 top 4 Prem clubs. Since we came 5th, we can
potentially end up in any of their pools. I think?

I'd like to be in a group with either Leinster or Munster.
Leinster as I have a close friend who is a season ticket holder
there so always enjoy games with him. Munster (perhaps
controversially on here!), just because, and I don't know why,
but I have a soft spot for them and have managed to be seduced
by the big Thomond Park European games - something I've wanted
to experience but haven't had the chance yet.

Tier 3 will include the two clubs ranked fourth which are not
in Tier 2 as well as the three fifth-ranked clubs from each
league Harlequins, Connacht Rugby and Racing 92.
