Best possible draw if we want to win this thing playing Ulster at home is what we want.

Some big games next 3
Bath
Saints
Ulster

Previous seasons I'd be dreading it but am actually excited.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Yes Ulster confirmed. Draw was live on BT Sport, for some reason. I hope it is not the Friday night game but I suspect one of the two Challenge cup games will be. Not sure when that will be decided.

Looking forward to some good games in the next 3 week. Tigers to win all of them 😁.

Borthwick always says one week at a time but his selections recently show how aware he has been about the critical nature of the next three weeks. Think it’s been spot on.

they are the channel showing the competitions its quite normal for them to show the draw, they do so for their Football cups so I would expect nothing less for Rugby

Beeb saying both ties are scheduled for the Friday but Tigers and EPCR just saying that weekend. Seems a mistake by the BBC.

Why?! Some people enjoy a Friday night game after a long hard slog at work with a beer or 8 and a curry. Used to love Friday night WR games too.

Looks like some might have their wish! According to the European rugby website all 4 games are on the Saturday/Sunday. Just hope we are not on Sunday,can’t stand Sunday games!
