Draw takes place this morning for the Heineken cup pool stage. Four Irish teams in it this year although they cant meet in the pool stage. Leinster & Munster both get top seed status, Ulster get 3rd seed & Connaght get 4th seed status so will be tough for them to make an impact.
Draw details at www.erc.com but site seems to be crashed all morning.

Not the easiest pool for Munster, Leinster will be happy with theirs I would have thought. Superb draw for Connacht, 3 big big clubs. Horrible draw for Ulster
