The draw for the composition of the six Pools of four teams each for the 14th Heineken Cup tournament will be made in Dublin on Tuesday, 17 June.
Under the new ERC European Ranking system the 24 teams that qualify for the tournament will be divided into four Tiers of six teams each based on their European performances over the past four seasons. The teams from each Tier level will be kept apart in the draw for the Pools.
The composition of the four Tiers will not be confirmed until the completion of the league stages of the Top 14 French championship which will confirm the remaining teams to compete next season.
