Leicester Tigers have been drawn with Ulster, Montpellier and Treviso in Pool 5 of next season's Heineken Cup. And while all of those sides will represent a threat, Leicester will fancy their chances of making the quarter-finals from what looks like one of the easiest of the six pools draw in Dublin this afternoon. Tigers were hammered by Ulster two seasons ago but this year's losing Pro 12 finalists have lost some of their aura. They have never met French Top 14 side Montpellier in the competition and have, once again, drawn an Italian team in the form of Treviso, who they have never lost to.
