Munster are set for a reunion with former hero and coach Jerry Flannery after Wednesday’s 2020-21 Heineken Champions Cup pool draw paired the province with Harlequins and ASM Clermont Auvergne.

There will be a new and one-off format for this season’s competition, expanded to 24 teams, divided into two pools of 12 but with the rounds in the first phase of the tournament reduced from six to four and each club facing only two opponents home and away when it gets underway in December.
