2017 -2018 Champions Cup Seeding

Your second one doesn't work beacuse we can't get scarlets or a group with no french team. Your first one doesn't work because we can't get 2 x french teams unless one comes from tier 4.

I'd say the easiest draw would be Wasps from Tier 1, Bath from Tier 3 and Northampton or Treviso from Tier 4. Can we get three English teams? Or would that not leave enough of them to make up other pools?

If we draw Clermont/Toulon from Tier 1 then we have to get an English team from Tier 3.

If we Draw Exeter/Wasps from Tier 1 then we have to get a French team from Tier 3.

We cannot draw a Pro12 team from Tier 1 or 3.

We can draw any team from Tier 4.

Gotcha. Clermont and Bath in our pool would be interesting

[wixfjord]

Some real potential bitches of draws in there.
Wasps, Leinster, Mont and Glasgow would be a shocker. Clermont, Leinster, Leicester and Glasgow likewise.

Toulon, Leinster, Bath and Treviso or Exeter, Leinster, Racing and Treviso would probably be best case scenario.

The big uns that I think are seeded too low are Glasgow and particularly Mont. Avoid Clermont and Wasps and them and we're laughing imo.

Surely we're due an auld Treviso for the last year of them?

Munster could get Sarries, Mont and Glasgow. For a first seed that'd be some sh1t group.

Galthié might get Toulon back playing well next season. So, if it's a French team out of Tier 1, Clermont could end up being easier. I'd say Wasps would be easier than Exeter as well. Wasps still have a bit of a soft underbelly, going by the qf this season anyway

I don't really know where Harlequins are at at the moment, but Northampton and Treviso look like the cannon fodder in Tier 4

[johng]

Draw at 1PM our time tomorrow

[wixfjord]

Ulster could get a right shocker of a group - Clermont, Saracens, Ulster and Glasgow.

[simonokeeffe]

draw is live on epcr youtube and facebook if anyones wondering

[R-Dog]

Have to get one of Claremont or Montpellier now

[matt]

Exeter

[R-Dog]

We'er off to Exeter, think that also guarantees Montpellier in Tier 3

[Laighin Break]

Not the worst

[matt]

Exeter Montpellier & Glasgow very tough but not as bad as Clermont Saracens Ospreys & Northampton

[FLIP]

Exeter, Leinster, Montpellier, Glasgow

Looking forward to a trip to Exeter.

[Dave Cahill]

Exeter Montpellier & Glasgow very tough

No it isn't.

[The Doc]

Exeter Montpellier & Glasgow very tough

No it isn't.

Poor Ospreys !!!

[R-Dog]

Fair enough draws for all the Irish I reckon

[jimbobjoe]

Tough draw. Expecting montpelier will flop on all their away trips which should take them out of the equation. Glasgow might be different under a new coach so I'd definitely hope for wins home and away there. Exeter difficult to call.
