Ah, forgot the draw was on...as a Bath fan that could have a gone a lot worse!

[DJRC]

They are horrible pools! Some brutal matches there.

[Vocal Minority]

No byes in that lot are there? I would say the Bath pool is the least terrifying (note not easiest!)

[Kermit power]

I reckon Saints have the best draw of the English clubs in that lot. Quins might not do too badly though.

Agree. The others are a close call, going down form 6? to 5 groups has made the groups very interesting. Some of the French clubs can be very indifferent particularly on the road and there's been a history of them not putting their full backing behind the HC to concentrate on the league.

Bath I would expect have a good chance to get out of their group too, couple of new signings some strength in depth. Sale are gona have a baptism of fire, tough group with Munster being hard to beat at home and rebuilding a very decent team. Quins could also get out of their group, Tigers group has some bruising encounters in there and will be a very difficult group to top.
