Bryan, yes we got here OK and the weather has been good, considering we are only 70 miles south of Caen.
The HEC is now sorted :
Sarries, Chiefs, Glaws, Saints, Quins, Bath and Sale
Ulster, Munster, Leinster, Connacht, Glasgow, Benetton, Ospreys
Toulouse, Clermont, Lyon, Racing, La Rochelle and Montpellier.
The Challenge cup is :
Wasps, Bristol, Worcester, Leicester and Irish.
Cardiff, Zebre, Scarlets, Edinburgh, Dragons
Castres, SF, Toulon, UBB, Section Paloise, Agen, Bayonne and either Grenoble or Brive. Grenoble must now beat Brive to remain in the Top14.
And - One club from the Continental Shield which features representatives from emerging countries and the Italian Eccellenza, and the winner of a play-off between Enisei-STM and Timisoara Saracens.
Could be some interesting trips - Bordeaux and Agen, I would be very happy with. As I imagine would Backdoc!
