The draw for the Heineken Champions Cup groups:
2023-24 Champions Cup pool stage
Pool 1: Saracens, Union Bordeaux-Begles, Bulls, Bristol Bears, Connacht, Lyon
Pool 2: Toulouse, Cardiff, Bath, Racing 92, Harlequins, Ulster
Pool 3: Munster, Aviron Bayonnais, Glasgow Warriors, Exeter Chiefs, Toulon, Northampton Saints
Pool 4: La Rochelle, Leinster, Stade Francais, Leicester Tigers, Stormers, Sale Sharks
What a difficult group for the Tigers! 😕
Yes Steve, same group as Leinster they have already named it the group of death.
Leinster will play the 2 French teams and 2 English teams, I expect Leicester Tigers will play the 2 French, South African and Irish teams. It’s another one of these stupid setup for group stages. There will be 2 away games and 2 home games No home and away return matches. A really $hit set up European Rugby.
