One team stands apart from all others in this pool, and for all Bath's status as former champions, French giants Toulouse are the only three-time winners of the competition. They may not have won the cup since 2005 but are reigning French champions and with the mercurial Frederic Michalak (far left) back in harness after a spell with the Sharks in Super 14, the Rouges et Noir will play their usual flowing brand of rugby. Since Steve Meehan took over as coach Bath have also played an attractive style and with ball-handling front rowers like Matt Stevens (left) they possess both grunt and guile up front. The Dragons are historically the weakest of the Welsh regions and look set to battle it out with Glasgow to avoid bottom spot.  The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites |
