Yep, the tent's already there at the bottom of the garden, but you'll have to watch out for the wild boar that often pass in the night :smt003
Exactly what do they pass in the night? Wind?.... :smt002
Has been known, so best keep upwind of 'em!

Is it just me, or does it seem like the rebrand a couple of seasons ago - and the promise of multiple big sponsors - just turned back into the Heineken Cup :smt017

Leicester have a roughly (just over) 30% chance of getting Leinster from tier one, and the same chance of getting Castres. Just under 20% chance of getting Montpellier, same for Scarlets.

Gets more complex after that, but basically the odds of getting Racing or Glasgow are about 35% in tier 2.

Of course those odds all change the minute the allocation into tier 1/2/3 is decided, and then again after tier one is drawn.

Probably one of the most balanced draws in a while with pool 1 arguably the most stacked

I was even more excited as the draw went on until we drew Ulster. Still far better than Pools 1 & 2 :smt023

Yeah, it's very balanced. No pools jump out as hugely better or worse than others.
