Interesting idea, certainly time the use of Lansdowne for pool games was abandoned.

Not sure that it will necessarily solve the "atmosphere" problem as even a full Donnybrook rarely sets the pulse racing.

Donkeybrook was hardly big enough last season for the travelling hoardes.

Not sure if there'll be quite so many travelling for the game this season, given when it's happening

I see there may have been a requirement for player innoculation to protect against disease due to horse contamination on the pitch. A MB post even suggests that McConville had a reaction to the innoculation.

Probably a tetenus jab Cables can't think of anything else except leptospirosis and I don't think there is a human vaccination for it

Aye they are looking at it bit no decision yet. There was plenty of atmosphere for the Bath game but the others were a bit lacking due to the poor opposition.
