    Saracens V Toulon.

    I won't know which team I want to lose more.

    They deserve each other!

    Any word on when fixtures released. Guessing it will depend on TV schedule breakdown between sky and BT

    Is it going to be called the Guinness Pro12 next year? They don't mention the sponsor name at all.

    I'm guessing this is because Heineken are one of the sponsors of the Champions cup so they don't really want to be giving Guinness any free publicity

    No way two teams are coming out of ulsters group. Exeter ulster and Bordeaux will all beat each other and all lose away to clermont.

    Very fair draw I think. Some pools tougher than others but no pools of death, though Saracens and Toulon have drawn each other neither team should have any problem getting 4 wins from that pool. Connacht given a big chance, should get 2 bonus point wins against Zebre and should be able to get 2 wins from Wasps and Toulouse if in the same form as last season.

    Round 1- Sat 15th Oct 16- Racing (H)
    Round 2- Sat 22nd Oct 16- Leicster (A)
    Round 3- Fri 9th Dec 16- Glasgow (A)

    Round 5- Sun 15 Jan 17- Racing (A)

    Any idea when the fixtures are going to be announced? It was around this time last year they announced them last year if I recall. Hoping to get to see Munster in Glasgow and Paris, and possibly Leicester as well!

    If they want to show us that this is a better run competition etc, announcing fixtures in good time is pretty crucial. What is the hold up?

    As a Munster fan I'm afraid I have zero sympathy. I'm shocked we have only one. But saying that Glasgow away still has to be arranged in January.
