THE HARDEST POOL
That would be pool 1 - Glasgow Warriors Leicester Tigers Munster Rugby Racing 92
Well, none of them are easy but this one is pretty hardcore - last year's Top 14 winners ( and runners up in the champ Cup), and Tigers and Glasgow currently 4th in their leagues. Munster had a few shortcomings highlighted last weekend but no better team to pick themselves up and have another crack at a European title. Racing should top this with their massive squad.
THE EASIEST POOL
Pool 2 - Connacht Toulouse Wasps Zebre
If you can't get 10 points of of Zebre you shouldn't be in the Champions Cup - like Zebre! Wasps are the new big boys on the block and should win, with Connacht getting through in no 2.
THE GROUP LEINSTER SHOULD WIN
Pool 4 Castres Olympique Leinster Rugby Montpellier Northampton Saints
Monpellier are 3rd, Castre are 10th in the T14, Saints are 9th, and Leinster are looking pretty good.
ALSO A PRETTY HARD GROUP
Pool 5 ASM Clermont Auvergne Bordeaux-Begles Exeter Chiefs Ulster Rugby
Clermont 1st, Bordeaux 5th, Exeter 5th and Ulster of course 1st in their respective leagues. Probably Clermont followed by Ulster
ANOTHER REALLY HARD GROUP
Pool 3 RC Toulon Sale Sharks Saracens Scarlets
Last years winners, the winners from the previous three years...who will win this group? Time will tell!
