Connacht's Pro12 title guaranteed them a top seeding and Pat Lam's side will be going-up against Wasps, Toulouse and Zebre in Pool 2.

Leinster were also handed a top seeding, which means that they are in Pool 4 alongside Montpellier, Castres and the Northampton Saints.

Ulster are in Pool 5, which also contains the Exeter Chiefs, Clermont Auvergne and a Bordeaux side that will feature Ian Madigan next season.
