Champions Cup 2020/2021

Postby TheSmidge on Wed Oct 28, 2020 5:28 pm

Pools have been drawn today and we are in Pool A:

POOL A (with opponents in brackets)
Bordeaux-Bègles (Dragons, Northampton Saints)
Leinster Rugby (Montpellier, Northampton Saints)
Wasps (Dragons, Montpellier)
Bath Rugby (La Rochelle, Scarlets)
Edinburgh Rugby (La Rochelle, Sale Sharks)
RC Toulon (Sale Sharks, Scarlets)
La Rochelle (Bath Rugby, Edinburgh Rugby)
Sale Sharks (Edinburgh Rugby, RC Toulon)
Scarlets (Bath Rugby, RC Toulon)
Dragons (Bordeaux-Bègles, Wasps)
Montpellier (Leinster Rugby, Wasps)
Northampton Saints (Bordeaux-Bègles, Leinster Rugby)

So we'll play La Rochelle and Sale home and away, and we need to finish in positions 1-4 to make the QFs or 5-8 to make the QFs of the Challenge Cup. It will be difficult to make the Heiny QFs, but the Challenge Cup has got to be achievable.

Is the 2011(?) epic 48-47 the last time we played them?

The similarly epic 24-27 away game was after that, but that was 2011/2012, yes.

We also had them in our pool the next season but our campaign was a bit more forgettable that time around.

Gutted we're playing them this year. The two stadiums in world rugby I want to see Edinburgh play at are the Stade Marcel Michelin and the Parisian discotheque

My son and I agree that if Edinburgh do not draw either in something, we will go to random Euro games just for the experience.

The Stade Marcel Michelin is the French stop on the bucket list for me.
