Ryanair fly there direct from Shannon, Cork, Dublin, Leeds and Birmingham although I think the Irish airports may be seasonal routes. Easyjet fly there direct from London Gatwick.

Bring it on, hard group but so what? Look what happened Quins this season after going 6 from 6...

Every game is genuinely crucial and should get us battle hardened if we make it out of the group!

Treviso in October please!

If they start with Montpellier, they'll finish with Montpellier too.

Ulster have started with a home draw for the last 9 years, so Sky must like having an Ulster home game at the start of the tournament.

Montpellier leak a lot of try's...put it this way, I'd prefer them over Glasgow :D
They also have a great stadium :D

Ok yes I overreacted. But it's still a tough pool and we'll have to play very well to get out. It'll be good to see Timoci Nagusa back at Ravers though.

Pool 1 - Leinster will win that, albeit with a few scares
Pool 2 - How easy could it be for Toulon, armchair ride to top seeds
Pool 3 - Fight between Toulouse and Sarries with the runners-up taking one of the best losers spots
Pool 4 - Clermont to win, but not 6/6
Pool 5 - Just us holding off the Tigers who may take a best loser spot
Pool 6 - Munster will manage to use their so-called "spirit" to get to the quarters
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Tigers fans seem very happy with the draw. I think we could take them home and away. They also reckon Sarries are walking into the quarter-finals. I wouldn't be so sure.

JB, I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but Toulon have that pool 6/6 without a shadow of a doubt.

Montpellier reached the QFs as best 2nd placed team last year but they did have an easy group - Toulon and Montpellier won all their games against Cardiff and Sale.
