The fixture list for the pool stage of this season's Heineken Champions Cup has been revealed.
Leinster and Connacht will both be at home on the opening weekend (10/11/12 December). Leinster will host Bath, while the Sportsground will throw open its gates for Stade Français.
The same weekend will see Ulster travel to France to play Clermont-Auvergne, and Munster cross the Irish Sea to play Wasps.
Much like last season, each team has just four pool matches, with two at home and two away.

Two weeks into the new year, Leinster will be at home to Montpellier and Ulster go to Northampton. While Munster are away to Castres, and Leicester visit Galway.
