[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 562488, member: 48703"] I am not a fan of the seeding system. They are far too slow to reflect the rankings. The fact that Biarritz and Cardiff Blues were considered top seeds in their pools sums this up despite the likes of Clermont being far better than both for a quite a while now. Biarritz have basically stayed as top seed thanks to the easy groups they continuously get. A better way of doing it would be to have the top 2 in each league in the first band. The third and fourth in each league the second band and so on. That would reward teams like Harlequins and Toulon in the top group of seeds instead of ludicrously having Biarritz (9th Top 14) and Cardiff Blues (7th RaboPro12) as top seeds in their pool. I'm not saying the seeding system is unfair as it is the same for all teams, but it doesn't offer near enough and accurate picture of who the top seeds should be. [/QUOTE]
