Re: ERCC Draw
That's one of the best draws we could have hoped for!
Won't be easy, but delighted!

Humphreys got out of Ulster at the right time.
Re: ERCC Draw
Great draw for you guys and two trips over to London!
Not the worst for us either, pool 3 looks a stinker!

Re: ERCC Draw
Considering the draw Ulster and Munster got, I think we got about as good as we could have hoped for.
Having said that, forgetting the other pools and just looking at what we have to play, those are three very good teams and it will be extremely tough group. I wonder which one will be the showpiece event in Lansdowne, Quins?

Re: ERCC Draw
am happy out with that
every chance we could have more fans at the away games against the London teams, especially Wasps
away Castres game gain could come down to timing/their interest but theyre squad is weaker for next season, backrow not great and neither is backline save the wingers
Harlequinns are significantly weaker personnel wise and if anything happens to Care or Evans theyre boned, alas Tom Williams wont be near the team so we'll have to limit our booing to Nick Evans
Wasps have no props or a 10 for this level

Re: ERCC Draw
You would expect Pool 5 to have 2 qualifiers, and possibly group 3 depending on how Scarlets are next season - so it might not be ALL bad for Ulster.
Dont Panic!

Re: ERCC Draw
Maybe we talk them up a bit.Harlequins and Castres are pretty good but Wasps are quite poor and we know how to beat Castres home and away and who can forget the stoop.I'd fancy us home and away against any of the English teams outside Sarries Saints and Tigers (and probably aginst them as well) and that's who we have so a good drawCOYBIB wrote:Considering the draw Ulster and Munster got, I think we got about as good as we could have hoped for.

Also Ulster and Munster were not top seeds like us so it does make a difference
Re: ERCC Draw
Anyone have any idea when the fixtures be released? Or even the agreed weekends?
Have heard it will change but that may just be the knockout stages been much earlier

Re: ERCC Draw
Getting Castres was key to avoiding Clermont and dumping them into Munster group . Not a bad draw.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Re: ERCC Draw
Bloodgate part deux and Wasps. One or both of those may well be in Wembly.

Re: ERCC Draw
We were actually a bit unlucky in that when it came to the last round,for our group it came down to 50/50 between Wasps and Treviso joining us.But will happliy take what we got (especially handy for those of us living in London...)
