The holders, Saracens, have been drawn in Pool 4 of the Heineken Champions Cup following the Pool Draws for EPCR's 2019/20 tournaments which took place today (Wednesday 19 June) at the Centre de Congrès Beaulieu in Lausanne, Switzerland.  The three-time competition winners, who also completed a magnificent double last season by capturing the Gallagher Premiership trophy, will be up against Munster Rugby, Racing 92 and the Ospreys in one of five highly-competitive pools. Leinster Rugby, runners-up in the Newcastle final, will have hopes of reaching the knockout stage of the tournament yet again when they take on Lyon, Northampton Saints and Benetton Rugby in Pool 1 next season. The Exeter Chiefs were drawn in Pool 2 alongside Glasgow Warriors, La Rochelle and Sale Sharks, while the recent Challenge Cup winners and TOP 14 losing finalists, ASM Clermont Auvergne, will go head-to-head with Ulster Rugby, Harlequins and Bath Rugby in Pool 3. Two TOP 14 clubs, Toulouse and Montpellier, were drawn into Pool 5 against Gloucester Rugby and Connacht Rugby. Meanwhile, Wasps, the number-one ranked Premiership club in the Challenge Cup draw, will clash with Edinburgh Rugby, Bordeaux-Bègles and Agen in Pool 3, while Scarlets, the highest-ranked Guinness PRO 14 representative, are up against RC Toulon, London Irish and Bayonne in Pool 2. The event, which was streamed live on epcrugby.com, official tournament Facebook channels, Virgin Media Sport and beIN SPORTS was compered by Sarra Elgan (BT Sport) and Matthieu Lartot (France Télévisions), and the draws were conducted by Bryan Habana (Channel 4) and Dimitri Yachvili (beIN SPORTS).
