    Munster's draw looks okay. I wouldn't fancy Ulster's chances to be honest. In with Stade Francais and Llanelli. Looks fairly tough for them. Still, with the new ranking system I suppose they were always likely to draw a few strong teams.

    Leinsters Pool looks not hard but certainly not easy.

    Yeah munster don't appear to have done too badly but them french teams can be very tricky to beat especially at home.
    Poor oul ulster probably won't get a look in in their group but Leinster are in with a great shout of qualifying. Wasps will be tough but edinburgh and castres are very beatable.

    Munster have come out the best from this draw in my opinion...Leinster have it tough, but if they get their act together they will have a good chance at etting through...and Ulster...well we can expect a gallant effort...all in all, it will be less pressure on teams which will make for a better Magners League...
