Would have thought English or Frenchman teams would have been more logical? Maybe something to do with a RWC year and not wanting to get horses by teams who haven't got as many players missing?
London Scottish game should almost be a standing fixture. Would be good to move these games though, one in Edinburgh and one in the Borders.

What's the bet that we get Connacht, Dragons and Ulster during those first four weeks?

Pretty brutal conference for ER if that is how it plays out, absolutely must take our chances on the road if/when we get them.
The cross conference schedule could be also be crucial with which teams we play home and away and BPs likely to have a say in a tight conference, throw in the lottery of a RWC year and it makes getting a good start in the league really important. Perhaps being in the Challenge Cup for us an advantage this season when the conference looks so tight.

I was thinking maybe the opposite get the bottom sides and pick up max points and hope to pick up a few points away. Either way is subject to much improving two areas over last season one scoring more tries and two improved away form.
