    Not bad for Leinster. Have to hope for Castres now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭Taco Corp


    Leinster have Northampton


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭jamiedav2011


    Happy with that from a Leinster POV, just don't give us Metro!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,234 ✭✭✭totallegend


    OK, Leinster get Northampton, not too bad.

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,636 ✭✭✭✭Tox56


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,234 ✭✭✭totallegend


    So this means either Leinster or Ulster get Montpellier.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭jamiedav2011


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭Taco Corp


    Connacht with Toulouse and Saracens


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,636 ✭✭✭✭Tox56


    Feck sake, Toulon the new Biarritz

    No Mujati or Tonga'uiha though.

    True but they are losing their first choice LH and TH so I'd say that it works out pretty even


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,997 ✭✭✭Grimebox


    Why am I watching this.... better off just looking it up after


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Northampton is a good draw. Yes, they've signed North but they've also lost Tonga'uiha and Mujati. Coribisiero and Fotuali'l are strong signings too. Certainly not the worst to get.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,599 ✭✭✭✭CIARAN_BOYLE

    Ulster can't get Racing. Racing are the bottom French team which means that they need to be drawn in a group with another french team


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,636 ✭✭✭✭Tox56


    DAMMIT

    Leinster get Ospreys, jesus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭jamiedav2011


    Fcuk. Ospreys.

    Munster looking very handy so far.

    Means Leinster have to get either Castres or Metro?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭Taco Corp


    Leinster get Ospreys. not to fond of playing them

    nothing else on tv :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Ospreys minus Fotuali'i remember. FFS Munster taking the piss.

    Leinster get Ospreys, ouch.

    I pray Munster don't get Racing from here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭jamiedav2011


    Munster must get either Gloucester or Exeter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭jamiedav2011


    Tough, tough draw for Leinster.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭Taco Corp


    Leinster
    Northampton
    Ospreys
    Castre


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,805 ✭✭✭Swan Curry


    Ah for Christ's sake,Castres?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭jamiedav2011


    Leinster get Ospreys, ouch.

    I pray Munster don't get Racing from here.

    They can't now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Ugh. Castres or Metro. Could be another pool with a winning team on 4 wins. Please Castres!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,636 ✭✭✭✭Tox56


    Hopefully Castres don't give a sh** next season


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭jamiedav2011


    Possibly the handiest group Munster could have asked for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    oops forgot we had to get an English club, I'm very happy with that.

    Munster should be embarrassed if they don't top that group.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Castres will be without Kockott, their main man, next year. They already didn't have the team for 2 fronts. But Munster's pool is just ridiculously easy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,889 ✭✭✭tolosenc


    Jesus.

    Do Munster ever get a difficult pool? The new Biarritz :P

    Connacht get Zebre!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    Satisfied with that.

    Perp.
    Edinburgh
    Gloucester

    Leinster have a tough draw.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 607 ✭✭✭ed7890


    Pretty good draw for Munster

    Poor 4 is really tough


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Anyone mind actually revealing what Munster's group is?!

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭its_phil


    With a group like that I think Connacht will struggle to win the Heineken Cup this year.... ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,543 ✭✭✭A2LUE42


    Bloody sky have just advertised that the 'live' draw is going to be shown soon.

    Munster and to a lesser extent Toulon have massively easy groups.

    Every other group could throw up a winner that isn't from Tier 1.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    Once again Munster get a piss easy draw, Leinster get a nightmare.

    Ulster got a very tough draw too, but at least have an Italian team.
