[Chunky24]

At least it's not dublin toulouse and bath some nice french options

[Neils]

Yes fond memories of both Zebre and Grenoble in recent years.

[wasps]

We'll likely get Irish, Stade and Cardiff

Cardiff on match day is awesome, thank you! Not so much for the Blues, but even so, if you can't have a good night there you are doing it wrong..... Llanelli, well that is a different kettle of fish. Best enjoyed from Tenby.....

Looking forwards to Cardiff, not living far from BPW...so easy trip to the ground via train and I might treat myself to a game in Edinburgh - have friends there so might be able to sneak a bed!

Further afield - its a question of if I can fly from Bristol!

[RBB]

Enisei looks like a mission, east of Kazakhstan, heading towards Mongolia, a case of 'I'm off to watch Wasps, see you in a week or so......'

[westwaleswasp]

That too is best enjoyed from Tenby.

The view is reminiscent of the Recreation Ground, if you poke an eye out and consume your own body weight in Vodka, the picture of the Connacht bench in this article is highly amusing, nice blankets.

Draw on Wednesday 19th June, seedings confirmed in next couple of weeks, actual fixtures dates and times then confirmed months later usually!!

[Neils]

Fixture dates usually mid to end August. For a few years it was around the 23rd Aug but with one TV company last year it was slightly earlier.

Is it possible to get 2 French teams?

[Neils]

According to Wpedia -

For the pool stage there are five pools of four teams. The teams are ranked based on domestic league performance the previous season, and arranged into four tiers of five teams. Teams are then drawn from the tiers into pools at random, with the restriction that no pool shall contain two teams from the same country or league, until the allocation of Tier 4, which will contain up to 1 English team and/or up to 3 French teams, as well as the 2 Continental Shield qualifiers.[10]

All of which suggests it is possible.
