Could equally end up with 4 losses but definitely gives the best chance of progressing to a home knock out.

That's a new level of sh*t.

Honestly never even contemplated that there would not be a french team at home and the other french team away.

If URC goes down to 6 reps in Europe, UR could be in for a scrap!I
But surely English Premier has no case to argue that 6 of their 10 should quakify?

I like the idea of the "coefficient calculation" to adjust the places per league based on performance.
I just hope it's more transparent than the other algorithms they've used recently to determine match order and home advantage.
