They are. If they lose today v Castres, will be in Pot 3. If they make the SF at worst, will be in Pot 2 minimum.footrush wrote:Thanks are Stade Toulouse in the shake up ?.kermischocolate wrote:They've announced 20 June.footrush wrote:Anyone remember when this takes place ?.
Re: Draw for H Cup / Champions Cup 2019
Very important to win today even for seeding next year. Pot 2 minimum with win, pot 3 with loss

Toulouse beat by Castres. Go into Pot 3.
Re: Draw for H Cup / Champions Cup 2019
If Exeter beat Sarries in the Prem final, a possible group next year would be:
Leinster
Saracens
Toulouse
Toluon
The latter two of whom are somewhat resurgent, and Sarries will be better in a non-post-Lions year.
Leinster
Saracens
Toulouse
Toluon

Re: Draw for H Cup / Champions Cup 2019
One way of looking at it would be that it might be no harm to get one of the best teams - Exeter, Saracens, Racing - out of the way (hopefully) during the pool stage

Re: Draw for H Cup / Champions Cup 2019
Why would Glasgow be definitely Pot 2 and not Munster?

The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Better SF loser based on points over the season. Munster can be in Pot 2/3 depending on mini draw before the main draw.Cianostays wrote:Why would Glasgow be definitely Pot 2 and not Munster?

If the loser of the Pro 14 final is put in Pot 2, then Munster will be in Pot 2, otherwise it will be Pot 3.
Re: Draw for H Cup / Champions Cup 2019
Toulon as 4th seeds is absolute madness. 'Meritocracy'...

Re: Draw for H Cup / Champions Cup 2019
The seeding system for the Champions Cup has to be changed. Surely they can come up with a metric that gauges how well a team performs both domestically and in Europe. If that was the case, we wouldn’t have these kind of scenarios.

Exactly. The current system is a bit daft, throws up some strange seedings - taking into account European Cup progress as well.A16 wrote:The seeding system for the Champions Cup has to be changed.

Re: Draw for H Cup / Champions Cup 2019
How do you do that when Toulouse were in the Challenge Cup last season? The leagues are the most consistent way of managing it really. Although maybe final league position makes more sense, ignoring the knock outs.Dexter wrote:Exactly.
