2021/22 Heineken Champions Cup
« on: June 28, 2021, 03:24:58 PM »
I see they have announced the set up for next season, same as last season with pools of 4.

So for Wasps that means we get one of the following, 1 Leinster Rugby, 2 Munster Rugby, 1 Stade Toulousain, 2 Stade Rochelais

Just looked at the Challenge Cup pages, and clubs list, it looks to have been updated and Saracens are not listed?

One of or two of? Does it need read that T3/4 Teams will play the T1/2 teams that are in their pool but not from the same league.

It will be us with Leinster/Munster and Toulouse/La Rochelle.

Some ask that!!!

And it will be the same for Bath.

I'll take Munster and La Rochelle, leave Toulouse and Leinster for Bath!!!

two of, there are 4 matches in the pool stage.
From the EPCR page, The Tier 1 and the Tier 4 clubs which have been drawn in the same pool, but which are not in the same league, will play one another home and away during the pool stage, as will the Tier 2 and Tier 3 clubs which have been drawn in the same pool, but which are not in the same league.
