Yep that's right but I'm not sure it can be us. I think last year if you already had a French team in your group you could only draw the bottom ranked French seeds. As the bottom ranked English seeds are (I think) in our seed pot I don't think we can draw them (I may be wrong though - this is all very complicated!!)

I think I'm right in saying you have to have both an English and a French team in your group which limits the groups possible. I don't think therefore that we could get a Leinster, Clermont, Racing group.
 
If someone has about 6 hours free they could work out all the probabilites Wink (someone has worked them out for the Spreys and Blues and put them on gwlad, but not bothered for us Cry)!!
The O's and Blues will have less chance in Europe than us next season. The Blues are going backwards at a rate of knots, and the O's have one of the most impotent set of backs around. Unless they recruit significantly they will be relying on Bowe and Shane in a big way next season.


Maybe they should sign... Ryan Giggs!

Seriously, though - Wil's selection of Biarritz, LI and Aironi would do us fine...Smile

you are right, we cannot have two english teams in our pool and as there are only 6 french teams we will only get one.
 
so we will definitely have either a scottish/irish/italian team in our pool as the 4th team.

Biarritz, Bath and Aironi would give us a chance and some cracking trips i think.

To make up for it you could find out which weekends the HC are on this season. Sure I've heard that it'll be in 2 blocks of games next season because of the World Cup but i'll wait on you to confirm for definite.
