'Brutal group' for Glasgow & 'decent draw' for Edinburgh?

Your views
[BBC]

We asked for your views after Glasgow and Edinburgh discovered their group-stage opponents in the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup respectively.

Here's what some of you said:

David: The competition is not called the 'Champions Cup' for nothing! All the top sides are there so no matter who the Warriors drew it was always going to be a difficult task. I should think that all the other sides are saying the same about the Warriors.

Xando: Absolutely brutal group for Glasgow. It appears winning the URC is not rewarded as richly as winning the Premiership in terms of group seedings.

Alex: A tough draw for Glasgow but looking at all the groups, there are no easy games. Certainly have the quality to get the two wins needed and particularly want to get a win against Quins after they snuck by us last season.

Ian: Glasgow has a tough draw but might come second at best, will need to win most of their home games and one away game to go through. Edinburgh should get through the group stage but that's all.

Arran: Pretty decent group for Edinburgh. Black Lion and Vannes will bring interesting and new challenges but should be contending for top of the group. Gloucester will be biggest challenge for us I think.

Stuart: As Warriors fan, if you want to be the best you must beat the tough opponents. Good draw for me. Exciting matches ahead!

Alan: This is the chance for Edinburgh to show their mettle and demonstrate why they're the number one Scottish club side. A good chance to meet up with Glasgow if they manage to pick up a Challenge Cup spot when they're inevitably ejected from the Champions Cup.

Anthony: Looking at the other groups there are no easy routes to the knockout stage. To be honest I’d actually go as far as to say Glasgow have done okay with their draw. Pool 3 looks horrendous. Edinburgh have a great chance to go through.
