Wednesday 21 Jul 2021

NEWS: Holders Toulouse were grouped with their two former final opponents in the European Champions Cup group stages draw on Wednesday.

Toulouse, who beat La Rochelle in May for a record fifth title, play Wasps, who they lost to in the 2004 Final, as well as Cardiff, who they edged to lift the inaugural trophy in 1996.

La Rochelle will face 1998 champions Bath as well as Scottish side Glasgow Warriors.

The format change introduced last season in the face of the coronavirus pandemic has been kept for the upcoming campaign.

The 24 teams in the tournament are split into two groups of 12. Each side plays two opponents home and away. But no sides play the same two opponents.

The eight highest-ranked clubs from each pool will qualify for two-legged last 16.

The group stages start on the weekend of December 10-12 with final on May 28 in Marseille.

The other highlights of the draw include three-time runners up Racing 92 meeting double winners Wasps as well as the Ospreys.
