Here are the pools of the European champions cup 2015 and how it works I hope to look at Ulster and there groups as well as the other Irish provinces

There will be no more than two clubs from each league in a pool, while no pool will contain two PRO12 clubs from the same country. Clubs from the same league will be kept apart until the allocation of Tier 4 clubs.

Knock-out stage[edit]

The eight quarter-finalists are seeded - pool winners from 1-5, and runners-up from 6-8 - based on performance in their respective pool. The four pool winners with the best pool record receive home advantage for the quarter-finals against one of the lower-seeded teams. The quarter-final are unbracketed, and follow the standard 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5 format, as found in the Heineken Cup.[4]

The winners of the quarter-finals will contest the two semi-finals, matches will be determined by a draw by EPCR, and the winners of the semi-finals will contest the final, which will be held no later than the first weekend of May each season
