Top 14 big spenders Racing Metro provide the Saints - who were handed top seeding in a pre-draw - with a first ever Parisian trip in European competition, while they were also drawn with an Italian side for the first time since 2009/10. That season they also played Treviso, advancing to the quarter final stages.
Ospreys, whom the Saints faced in last season’s Heineken Cup draw, are the top seeded Welsh side and complete Pool 5.
