    It's a tough enough presenting gig - pronunciations, complicated draws, a high potential for something to go wrong.

    I'm surprised they didn't get an experienced anchor to do it.

    I think Greenwood did it last year and he was very good

    I always find it bizarre when they ask people to use twitter in such an official manner

    I'm sure he's a nice fella, but I just cannot warm to Horgan on TV either as a commentator, or as an "MC" which he is attempting right now,

    Yes, in Dublin, he's speaking extra slowly for the international audience.

    He's an excellent analyst, great insight.
    Not great at this sort of a gig alright.

    I think he likes the sounds of his own voice a little bit too miuch as a commentator to be honest, even if his insight is good. Had to turn him off during the 6 nations.

    He is woeful doing the MC thing. Even if he is reading, his delivery is terrible and he keep swinging off the lectern or holding on to it. Someone needs to give him some lessons..

    Munster get Perpignan, jammy basstards. This means they avoid Quins/Sarries/Tigers/Saints.

    OK, Leinster get Northampton, not too bad.

    Ulster get Leicester... and Toulon get the jammy draw of Cardiff as their tier 2 side.

    Won't Northampton have Fotuali'i + North next year? Would have taken them this year but they could be good next year

    So this means either Leinster or Ulster get Montpellier.

    Yikes, that could be an utter disaster for Ulster. Metro would top that group off nicely!
