Ulster coach Solomons questions lopsided Cup format

ULSTER coach Alan Solomons is not enamoured with the Heineken Cup format.

As he prepares his side for Sunday’s opening tie against Northampton at Franklin’s Gardens, Solomons says some groups are an easy touch, others more difficult, which is making for a sometimes lopsided competition.

Solomons said Ulster’s Pool 6 group is loaded and it will be very difficult for two sides to qualify from a section that includes Cardiff and Biarritz.
