European Champions Cup draw

Posted by Editor on June 30, 2016 12:44 AM | No comments | Print | E-mail author

Glasgow Warriors have been drawn to face Racing 92, Leicester and Munster in the European Champions Cup pool stage.

Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend said: "It's three excellent teams we're playing against; three big names of European rugby and a fantastic challenge for us this season.

"We'll absolutely relish it. If you qualify for the European Champions Cup you know you're going to be playing against some of the best teams in Europe. If you get lucky you might get a team that's sneaked in but most of the pools are very tough.

"We've got teams that have won the competition before. Racing 92 are arguably one of the best teams in Europe, who have recently won the Top 14 and are full of top quality players. It'll be a great adventure for us."
