New European campaign pools revealed
European champions Exeter Chiefs will play Toulouse and Glasgow Warriors in the pool stage of the 2020/21 Heineken Champions Cup.
The pool draw at the Maison du Sport International in Lausanne, Switzerland sees the Devon club playing in group B as Exeter begin the defence of their title.
The Chiefs lifted the trophy for the first time after a dramatic 25th anniversary final earlier this month. French club Toulouse, by contrast, have won the championship four times.
The tournament will have four pool stage rounds on a home and away basis. Under the new format for the 2020/21 season featuring two pools of 12 clubs, reigning Guinness PRO14 champions, Leinster Rugby, will have Montpellier and Northampton Saints as their opponents in Pool A when the tournament kicks off again in December, while last season’s runners-up, Racing 92, are in Pool B where they will be up against Connacht Rugby and Harlequins.
