Bristol were drawn in Heineken Cup Pool 3 and face a tempting trip to Stade Francais as well as the short journey over the bridge to Cardiff and the slightly longer haul to London’s suburbia in the form of Harlequins.

The full group details are as follows:
Pool 1 - Benetton Treviso, Lodson Irish, Perpignan, Newport Gwent Dragons
Pool 2 - Ospreys, Gloucester Rugby, Bourgoin, Ulster Rugby
Pool 3 - Stade Francais, Bristol, Cardiff Blues, Harlequins
Pool 4 - Glasgow Warriors, Saracens, Biarritz Olympique, Viadana
Pool 5 - London Wasps, ASM Clermont Auvergne, Llanelli Scarlets, Munster Pool 6 - Leinster, Leicester Tigers, Toulouse, Edinburgh Rugby
The six pool winners and two best placed runners-up qualify for the quarter-finals. The pool winners will be ranked 1-6 in terms of the number of pool points earned and the two runners-up will be ranked 7-8. Teams ranked 1-4 will have home advantage and the quarter-finals will be:
Team 1 v Team 8
Team 2 v Team 7
Team 3 v Team 6
Team 4 v Team 5
If clubs are equal on pool points, and the clubs are in the same pool, then qualification/ranking will be based on the two matches played between the two clubs. The winner will be:
1. The club which has earned most pool points from two games
2. The club which has scored the most tries from two games
3. The club with best points difference from two games
