What do you think?
Any thoughts?


Pool 1: Racing 92, Glasgow, Leicester, Munster

Pool 2: Connacht, Wasps, Toulon, Zebre

Pool 3: Saracens, Toulon, Scarlets, Sale

Pool 4: Leinster, Northampton, Montpellier, Castres

Pool 5: Exeter, Clermont, Ulster, Bordeaux-Begles

Very good pool for Connacht. As has been said earlier Toulouse not the same as a few years previously. Should be targeting maximum points against Zebre. Wasps are re building nicely but can be beaten.

Munster have a terribly hard group. Racing Top 14 champions this year. Glasgow one of the top sides in the Pro 12. Revenge mission on Leicester for the defeats in last years pool stages. The group will test out the new management structure.

Some really tough pools there, won't be any easy route to qualification. I wouldn't rule out no Irish teams reaching the knockout stages. Though some of the big French and English teams are shadows of their former selves so nothing is impossible.

all the provinces have got a hard draw, getting out if the pools will be a challenge in itself

You might be lucky to get a easy pool but nearly impossible now
We have got a too bad one tbh , Ulster and Leinster maybe ok but Munster would have to be classed as the pool of death

Games start this weekend with all the irish provences facing tough games. I think leinster may have the best chance of winning. Connacht are coming into a bit of form jst now and their game could go either way. I think racing will beat munster and ulster may have a 50 50 chance. In other games glasgow v leicester should be a close game and the game of the weekend is toulon v saracens, will these two teams meet in the final next may?

The only one I can't see winning is Munster. They still have a long way to go but it's early days for the Erasmus team. We will see how they do down the line but I think Racing are to much for them right now.

Toulouse are not the force they used to be but they still have real talent, maybe Connacht can win if they really play well but I'll go with Toulouse to win it.

I don't really know what to think about Ulster. Top of the pro 12 but they haven't really been playing that well, so who knows what will happen with them

The only one I expect to win their game is Leinster.

Super away win for sarries , first time toulon have lost at home. Have we seen the champions already?

I do like to see Toulon lose.

[AbidingPond]

A bonus point win for Leinster. Miles better than where they were this time last year.

Fantastic win for Connacht. I'm real proud of them, they deserved. A match high drama.
