With the Magners League set to kick off this Friday, Planet Rugby took a closer club-by-club look at who's hot and who's not going into 2010/11.

Current champions the Ospreys, who defeated Leinster in last year's final, will have themselves a four-point handicap to chase down following their postponement of a fixture against Ulster last season. And who would have guessed that they open their World Cup-year account at Ravenhill.

New signings, venues, ins and outs, travel connections; we bring you all that you need to know ahead of the new Magners League.
