Euro heavyweights go head-to-head

By
Wednesday 17 Jun 2015

Triple winners Toulon face a tough pool, featuring English sides Bath and Wasps, as well as three-times former winners Leinster in the draw for the 2015/16 Champions Cup.

Australian wing Drew Mitchell's brilliant late try ensured Toulon became the first club to win three successive European titles – as they beat French rivals Clermont 24-18 in a thrilling Final at Twickenham last month.

Reigning English Premiership champions Saracens and semifinalists in the Champions Cup are in Pool One with Ulster, four-time winners Toulouse, and newcomers Oyonnax.

The draw made at competition organisers' headquarters in Neuchatel, Switzerland, placed Glasgow in Pool Three with Northampton, Racing Metro and Scarlets.

Clermont have Ospreys, Exeter and Bordeaux for company in Pool Two, while Pool Four comprises Top 14 winners Stade Francais, Munster, Leicester and Treviso.
