Leinster to renew rivalry with Clermont
The dates will be settled for the 2012/13 competition next month but the draw has been made and, apart from money matters, Leinster will hardly be ecstatic about the outcome. Drawn in Pool 5 against the team they defeated narrowly in this year’s semi-final, they also meet Llanelli Scarlets and Aviva Premiership workhorses Exeter Chiefs.
It’s not quite in the same category as the Pool 2 group of death which features Toulouse, Leicester, Ospreys and Treviso, but it’s close.
