Had a brief look at the EPCRugby site for info on how the draw is made - nada, rien, SFA.

Are there still rules about not drawing clubs from your own league in some stages?

Fair play to Scaaaaaaaaaaaaalets but you'd take them as your no 1 seeds all year any year.

Ulster can't get a Pro 12 side from Pot 1 or 2, but can draw Glasgow/Treviso from Pot 4.

Don't fancy our chances in any of those groups, best hope would have involved Scarlets as the team from Pot 1 and we can't have that

Who cares about our chances - three good away trips and I'm happy.

Exeter, La Rochelle, Treviso would do me nicely.

Draw is from 1PM today, they are doing the Challenge Cup first so could be 1:15/1:20 before it starts.

Got a cracking draw trip-wise last year with Exeter, Bordeaux and Clermont - have a bad feeling that it will not be so good this year - visions of trips to Coventry/North Barnet and Glasgow.

Good draw with a new destination and 2 straight forward trips to England. Been a while since we have faced Quins (2008/2009)/Wasps (2001/2002).

Leinster got the "group of death" - super tough.

Much as I enjoyed the night at Quins last time, I have no interest in travelling to England, whether or not La Rochelle would be possible will depend greatly on the date of the game. My guess is that it might be the back to back games.
