@papachinzo the saints have added alot of depth from last year, they had george pisi and tom may come into the centre positions as cover, they have no lack of talent on the wings, 10 they now have Lamb and Myler 2 very good players, front row positions are all covered well, second row samu manoa has come in as cover alongside lawes and sorenson and caesar sempere has come in as fullback cover, not to mention the back row where the return of wood and (hopefully soon wilson) will add plenty of character... I see Saints top, munster a close second, maybe and upset from scarlets but more likely 3rd and castres 4th.

Northampton are too strong - easy winners of this group. No idea who will get second. Scarlets are indeed lacking grunt up front, but have a back line to die for. Munster - cant right them off, but not the team they were. Castres - never get through.

Castres. Once again, I don't see them competing, Top 14 is too important for them.

Munster. The kings of Europe will be out to right the wrongs of last season, with high profile players back in action, I see them referring back to their old ways.

Northampton. A team who are lacking depth. I think they will find this years group to be a much harder task, one I don't see them completing.

Scarlets. Show'd us all some great rugby last year, I see them taking another step this year. If they play them right, 1st place could still be on the cards.

1.Munster, 2.Scarlets, 3.Northampton, 4.Castres
