Toulouse clinched a record fourth European crown in May

Wasps, Glasgow and Dragons have been drawn in the same group as reigning champions Toulouse in Pool 6 of the 2010-2011 Heineken Cup.

French newcomers Racing Metro 92 face Leinster, Clermont and Saracens.

Munster, Ospreys and London Irish are in Pool 3, with Leicester and Scarlets coming together in Pool 5.

Bath face Ulster in Pool 4 as well as Italian newcomers Aironi, while Pool 1 features Cardiff, Northampton, Edinburgh and French side Castres.

The 16th Heineken Cup gets under way in early October, with the final at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium in the Welsh capital on 22 May.
