Do you think the European cup has lost its importance

With the improvement of the league system and the changing of the rules it seems to have lost its excitement. The days of the Heineken cup being the main goal and the pool stages actually being important are gone. On the offload podcast Donncha o Callaghan made a good point that he would rather watch the darts than the group stages. Even though the darts are amazing the Europe cup has to be bigger for rugby fans, clubs are getting through with no wins and just putting out B teams and barely showing up for the whole tournament.
