With Stade Francais staging a huge comeback to win the French Championship at the weekend, the seeding for the French teams for the Heineken Cup was complete. ERC Rugby then today announced the fixtures for next season.



Munster have been rewarded for their fine performances last year with what seems to be one of the easier pools. While Ulster will be feeling hard done by again this year, having drawn Stade Francais, Cardiff and Gloucester. Leinster will surely be looking to progress from their group under new coach Declan Kidney but Zurich Premiership Finalist Bath will be looking to stop them.



The full pool lists are outlined below along with the full fixtures list to follow as soon as it is announced

POOL 1: London Wasps, Calvisano, Biarritz Olympique, Leicester Tigers.

POOL 2: Benetton Treviso, Leinster, Bath Rugby, Bourgoin.

POOL 3: Llanelli Scarlets, Glasgow Rugby, Northampton Saints, Toulouse.

POOL 4: Munster, Neath-Swansea Ospreys, Castres Olympique, NEC Harlequins.

POOL 5: Edinburgh Rugby, Perpignan, Newport Gwent Dragons, Newcastle Falcons.
