So the format for the 20th-place-in-the-Not-HEC will be decided by a different format than previously proposed....

Invalid consumer key/secret in configuration

7th in Pro12 (assuming the Italian teams continue to suck) plays 7th in Premiership, home advantage decided by a coin toss.

Winner of that is then at home to 7th place in the Top 14.

So all the French need to do to have a 7th club in the top competition is have someone win a European play-off match away. :evil:

I'm smelling complete disinterest from our Gallic brethren.

Tbilisi Caucasians only lost by 4 away to Rovigo in the "Qualifying Competition" (which basically consists of two two-legged playoffs), so you'd have to fancy them at home in the return leg.
It's impressive enough for an invitational side that can't have been put together more than a few weeks ago.
Might make an interesting trip for Cardiff fans.

Well they will know before the general public. Sure last year I got my hands on them :evil:

Rumour “on the block “ is that Clubs may know dates / times for first 4 European matches tomorrow, Monday, with general release to the public later in the week. Believe it when I see it however!!
