The pools for the group stages of the 2010/11 Heineken Cup were confirmed today, and there are some tough-looking combinations.
Pools 2, 3 and 6 look particularly interesting!
POOL 1: Cardiff Blues, Northampton Saints, Edinburgh, Castres Olympique
POOL 2: Leinster, ASM Clermont Auvergne, Saracens, Racing Metro 92
POOL 3: Munster, Ospreys, London Irish, RC Toulon
POOL 4: Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque, Bath Rugby, Ulster, Aironi Rugby
POOL 5: Leicester Tigers, Scarlets, Perpignan, Benetton Treviso
POOL 6: Toulouse, London Wasps, Glasgow Warriors, Newport Gwent Dragons
The Heineken Cup fixtures are now available.
Pool 2 looks like the group of death and Pool 3 also looks like it will be really tight. The draw looks good for Saints and Cardiff though, and I think Leicester should get out of their group too…
