You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Not happy with that. Not happy at all. Leicester and Montpellier two tough tough sides and Treviso are vastly improving. We'll do well to get out of this.

I'll take that!

Every group is tough for the teams in it, although Glasgow will fancy their chances. Pool 2 and Pool 6 are the easier groups with no stand out teams in either, bar Toulon.

How easy is it to get to Montpellier?

Munster are jammy as get out!
You've got to get your first tackle in early, even if it's late.

That's quite a tough draw. Leicester and Treviso are the best teams in their countries and Montpellier looked like a really tough side in last year's comp.

Fairly happy with that I think, it is certainly do-able to finish top. Montpellier are a good team but can be fairly inconsistent when I've seen them, Treviso are going to be a better team next year but I'd still expect home and away wins, and lets not forget Matt O'Connor has left Tigers for Leinster so depending how they deal with his departure, they could well be slightly weaker off. Should be an interesting year, just be thankful we aren't in pool one!

Not speaking for teams, but looking around the supporters' forums, most of them wanted us as their tier 1 side... and not because they fancied a trip to Belfast.

How the hell will Munster fans be able to claim group-of-death status on that?

Wise up Ruck. You have to beat the best to be the best, in some ways I'd rather be in that group than an easy group

It's the group of dearth.
