    TBH

    There is no easy teams in it now say ZEBRE and even they can overturn you if they hit it right.

    But great to see us there as a top seeded team

    These were the seedings

    Here are the rankings for the Champions Cup draw

    1 Saracens, Racing 92, Connacht
    2 Exeter Chiefs, RC Toulon, Leinster
    3 Wasps, Clermont Glasgow, Warriors
    4 Leicester Tigers, Montpellier, Ulster
    5 Northampton Saints, Toulouse, Scarlets
    6 Sale Sharks, Castres Olympique, Munster
    7 Bordeaux-Bègles, Zebre Rugby

    It seems how you finished in your league determined your seeding

    I think Ulster would be happiest of the Irish and Munster be the saddest

    The last time we had them in our group we kinda got the better of them, now we are stronger and they,re not as once was ,
    I think it,s between us and wasps for top spot
