At least we may drop into the Challenge Cup and have a genuine shot at that...
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

I may be wrong but thought one away was URC and one a top 14 team

although La Rochelle would be great to visit Paris and Dublin are easy trips

Haven't seen that but I am hoping for a French/Ireland away trip next year - hope that we don't get 2 French sides at home - a bit of variety please
Hehehehehehehehe
Re: Next season Champions Cup - 2023/2024
I see the new format is working wonders already, not sure there has ever been a more stacked pool in european history!
About the only way it could be worse is Toulouse in for Stade....

Re: Next season Champions Cup - 2023/2024
If you go by league positions from last season, our pool is more than twice as hard as the other three
Re: Next season Champions Cup - 2023/2024
Just seen this on twitter
"When you combine the finishing position of each team in their respective comps (the lower the tougher), the first 3 pools are 31, 31 and 30. Pool 4 is 16."

Re: Next season Champions Cup - 2023/2024
Seems we have got the draw from hell but as I have said before the competition does not interest me. That said, as long as we play the games we have to and suffer no serious injuries I am happy but I cannot see the club making much dosh out of this competition if any.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2023 9:28 amTbf depending on the draw we could end with a very favourable draw, in the last 2 seasons we've been unfortunate to face the tournament favourite in the ¼ finals, get a favourable draw this year, with such a high probability of a group of death the draw could give Tigers a better run to the latter rounds
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Sums up the farce of removing the seeding for this comp.
Imagine having Real Madrid, Man City, PSG, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan/Juventus in the same pool in the Champions league? It just wouldn’t happen. Farcical.
Only plus is it gives us some proper tests and good matches - gives the squad some games to sink their teeth into and show what they’ve got.
