Heineken Cup draw

Posted by Editor on June 29, 2004 10:08 AM | 4 comments | Print | E-mail author
Glasgow will face Northampton, Llanelli Scarlets and Toulouse in this season's Heineken Cup.

Glasgow chief executive David Jordan said: 'It is an enormously hard draw but as second seeds from Scotland we expected that.

"Toulouse and Northampton are recent champions, while Llanelli have been the most consistent Welsh performers in the competition since it began. The prospect of hosting Toulouse at Hughenden is certainly mouth-watering and we are looking forward to the challenge."

The exact dates and times of the matches will be released approximately in mid August (2 months before the tournament kicks-off). The reason for the times and dates of the fixtures being released in mid August is because ERC will be consulting with its broadcaster partners to decide the televised fixtures.

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

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

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

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

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

POOL 6: Stade Français Paris, Ulster, Cardiff Blues, Gloucester.

As a supporter it looks a bit of a nightmare but as a Hooray no complaints. Pool2 is a Hooray's fanatasy dream!
