Re: Treviso .. who's going ?

Five of us flying out of Gatwick Friday lunch time, and hopefully no delays. Three of our group staying in the Carlton, two slumming it in the Continental.
Intend being in Irish bar close to the hotels for a quick one before heading to the game.

See you all there! >drinks :party:

Re: Positives & Negatives: Ulster V Glasgee (2)

Terrible conditions thus game became a dour war of attrition. Good in that Ulster ground it out, but scrum was dire. I will put the latter down to the conditions and move on.

Re: How To Honour Nevin

Like the idea of the shirt Prawnsarnies.
Would honour Nevan and raise money for charity.

Re: Is this true?

Truly tragic news.
A brilliant young player and a sad loss for Irish rugby.
My thoughts are with his sister and his mother at this terrible time..

Re: Olympic torch? Olympic ar$e more like

OK OK..... I get it, you're all super excited about the big swan vesta relay, and, whilst I personally believe you all need to get out more, I will sip my chilled Prosecco in my manicured rear garden which is currently adorned with acres of Union Jack bunting. YES...... At this very moment I am chan...

Re: How many were we?

Indeed LJ283 . We hung around as well hoping the boys would walk round to our section with Brian. Would have been a nice send off to Brian, P3, Stefan and co.

Happy to clap Leinster's achievement tho.

Re: Olympic torch? Olympic ar$e more like

Personally I am totally disinterested by the BBC's attempts to drum up enthusiasm for their planned wall to wall coverage of the Olympics. However, should you wish to watch someone running a few hundred metres clad in a dodgy white tracksut whilst clutching a large Swan Vesta, then be my guest! Just...

Re: Can Wilson replace Pedrie?

No. Useful squad player and will trundle forwards like a tonka toy.
Lacks class and flair.
