Ahead of the Heineken Champions Cup pool draw, we’ve collated all the information you need to know as the 24 elite clubs in the competition learn their opponents for the 2022/23 season. When and where is it taking place? The draw for the pools will be held at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Tuesday 28 June. The event starts at 12:00 (UK & Irish time) / 13:00 (SA & Italian time), with the Heineken Champions Cup draw taking place at approximately 12:25 / 13:25. Where can I watch it? The draw will be streamed live on www.epcrugby.com, and there will be exclusive blog coverage from 11:30 / 12:30. Which clubs have qualified? The Heineken Champions Cup draw, which will feature the Stormers, Bulls and Sharks from South Africa for the first time, will include eight clubs each from the Gallagher Premiership, TOP 14 and United Rugby Championship (URC). TOP 14: 1 Montpellier Hérault Rugby, 2 Castres Olympique, 3 Union Bordeaux-Bègles, 4 Stade Toulousain, 5 Stade Rochelais, 6 Racing 92, 7 ASM Clermont Auvergne, 8 Lyon Gallagher Premiership: 1 Leicester Tigers, 2 Saracens, 3 Harlequins, 4 Northampton Saints, 5 Gloucester Rugby, 6 Sale Sharks, 7 Exeter Chiefs, 8 London Irish United Rugby Championship: 1 Stormers, 2 Bulls, 3 Leinster Rugby, 4 Ulster Rugby, 5 Sharks, 6 Munster Rugby, 7 Edinburgh Rugby, 8 Ospreys What are the key rules? The number 1 and number 2 ranked clubs from each league will be in Tier 1, the number 3 and number 4 ranked clubs will be in Tier 2, the number 5 and 6 ranked clubs will be in Tier 3, and the number 7 and number 8 ranked clubs will be Tier 4. The Tier 1 and the Tier 4 clubs which have been drawn in the same pool, but which are not in the same league will play one another home and away over four pool stage rounds – as will the Tier 2 and Tier 3 clubs which have been drawn in the same pool, but which are not in the same league. For example, the Stormers, who won the URC Grand Final, will be in Tier 1 and will be drawn against either ASM Clermont Auvergne or Lyon, and against either the Exeter Chiefs or London Irish from Tier 4. Similarly, Leicester Tigers, who triumphed in the Premiership final, will also be in Tier 1 and will be drawn against either ASM Clermont Auvergne or Lyon, and against either Edinburgh Rugby or Ospreys from Tier 4. Meanwhile, the recently-crowned French champions, Montpellier, will be drawn against either Exeter or London Irish, and against either Edinburgh or the Ospreys. When will the matches take place? Once the draw has been concluded, EPCR will begin to prepare the fixture schedule, with an announcement of exact dates, venues, kick-off times and TV coverage to follow as soon as practicable. Round 1 – 9/10/11 December 2022 |

Historic EPCR pool draws set the stage for the 2022/23 seasonAll 44 clubs in EPCR’s tournaments, including five first-time representatives from South Africa, now know their opponents for the 2022/23 season following the pool draws for the Heineken Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup which were staged today (Tuesday 28 June) at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium. The Heineken Champions Cup holders, Stade Rochelais, will be up against Northampton Saints and Ulster Rugby in Pool B, while the recently-crowned URC winners, the Stormers from Cape Town, are also in Pool B and will play home and away against London Irish and ASM Clermont Auvergne. Leicester Tigers, who triumphed in the Gallagher Premiership final, will clash with the Ospreys and Clermont in Pool B, and Montpellier Hérault Rugby, who won the TOP 14 title for the first time in the club’s history, will be pitted against London Irish and the Ospreys again in Pool B. URC finalists, the Bulls, will face Exeter and Lyon in Pool A, while the Sharks were also drawn into Pool A where they will clash with Harlequins and Union Bordeaux-Begles. Four-time champions, Leinster Rugby, will go head-to-head with Gloucester Rugby and Racing 92 again in Pool A, and Munster Rugby will renew their rivalry with Stade Toulousain and Northampton in Pool B. In the EPCR Challenge Cup, newcomers, the Lions from Johannesburg, were drawn against Stade Francais Paris and the Worcester Warriors in Pool B, while the Cheetahs, who will play their ‘home’ matches in Europe, will face Scarlets and Section Paloise also in Pool B. For the Heineken Champions Cup draw, the 24 qualified clubs were in four tiers based on their rankings from the TOP 14, Gallagher Premiership and the URC, before being drawn into two pools of 12 – Pool A and Pool B. Clubs from the same league in the same tier were not drawn into the same pool. The Tier 1 and the Tier 4 clubs which were drawn in the same pool, but which are not in the same league, will play one another home and away over four pool stage rounds, as will the Tier 2 and Tier 3 clubs which were drawn in the same pool, but which are not in the same league. The 20 EPCR Challenge Cup clubs were divided into three tiers in order to create two pools of 10 – Pool A and Pool B. Clubs from the same league cannot play against one another during the pool stage. The Tier 1 and the Tier 3 clubs which were drawn in the same pool, but which are not in the same league, will play one another home and away over four pool stage rounds. The Tier 2 clubs which were drawn in the same pool, but which are not from the same league, will play one another home and away during the pool stage. In order to adhere to the key principle of no same-league matches, Tier 2 clubs from the TOP 14 will only play against opposition from the URC, and similarly, Tier 2 clubs from the Premiership will also only play against opposition from the URC. The event, which was streamed live on epcrugby.com, was presented by Craig Doyle (BT Sport) and Laura Tarbouriech (EPCR) with Ben Kayser and Elma Smit as ball drawers for the EPCR Challenge Cup, while Kayser and the Heineken Ireland Managing Director, Maarten Schuurman, drew the balls for the Heineken Champions Cup pools. The event scrutineer was Joe Tynan of PwC Ireland. The exact dates of the pool stage fixtures in both tournaments, as well as venues, kick-off times and TV coverage, will be announced as soon as practicable following consultation with clubs and broadcasters. The 2022/23 EPCR season will be played over eight weekends with four rounds of matches in the pool stage starting in December, followed by a knockout stage consisting of a Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, culminating in the Dublin finals at the Aviva Stadium on 19 and 20 May 2023.

Looking at the Gallagher Premiership table Warriors look like they have a worse defensive record than the Lions. However none of the teams can be taken lightly
